An explanation leading to the correct answer would be helpful! Scenario: You're taking a train from Istanbul to Zagreb, and there has been a murder! Fortunately, a world-class detective is on the train with you and the train's owner ask him take over the case. You are not a suspect, but you are an expert in human physiology. You examine the body for "rigor mortis" to estimate the time of death. Rigor mortis occurs because, at death, all the existing ATP is rapidly depleted and no new ATP is made. The lack of ATP prevents the cross-bridge cycle, and the muscles become extremely stiff. You explain all of this to the detective, Hercule P, but he's confused why the lack of ATP would make the body stiff rather than limp. After all, isn't the primary function of sarcomeres to build tension in muscles? You tell Hercule that the lack of ATP actually prevents:arrow_forwardWhen a variation outside normal limits triggers a response that restores the normal condition, the regulatory process involves: (a) negative feedback. (b) positive feedback. (c) compensation. (d) adaptation.arrow_forward
- The process by which an organism increases the size and/or number of its cells is called: (a) reproduction. (b) adaptation. (c) growth. (d) metabolism.arrow_forwardMost homeostatic functions in the body are maintained by (a) exocrine glands (b) negative feedback systems (c) set points (d) stressors (e) positive feedback systemsarrow_forwardIn which regional body cavity, or cavities, of the trunk would each of the following organs or systems be found? (a) cardiovascular, digestive, and urinary systems (b) heart, lungs (c) stomach, intestines.arrow_forward
- What are Feedback Systems?arrow_forwardA hypothetical organ has the following functional requirements : (1) the ability to resist surface abrasion and mechanical stresses;(2) the ability to contract involuntarily when stimulated by cells of the nervous system; and (3) the ability to resist tension in many different planes of force. The organ needs one tissue to carry out each of these requirements, and it also needs one tissue to " glue" all other tissues together, and one tissue to stimulate the contracting cells. What are the five tissues that will make up this hypothetical organ ? Justify your choices .arrow_forwardThe diagram in Figure 5 shows the difference between negative feedback and positive feedback. (i)Explain why negative feedback is important in homeostasis. (ii)Explain how negative feedback enables the carotid and aortic bodies and the medulla to maintain a constant blood carbon dioxide level. (iii)It is said that the initiation of an Action Potential is an example of positive feedback. With reference to the process involved, state why you think this statement is accurate?arrow_forward
