In describing a positive feedback loop, which of the following would be true?
a) the sensor and control center are always the same
b) the effector signals the control center to shut off the initial stimulus
c) the effect shuts off the initial stimulus
d) the effect amplifies the initial stimu
One of our homework questions in Anatomy 1 states
Describe the relationship between homeostatic imbalance and disease.
I understand that homeostasis is what our bodies use to keep balance and regulation.
Is this question something along the lines of;
When our bodies catch a flu/virus the body fights off the disease by giving us a fever. The fever fights off the infection by chemical responses that come from the receptor detecting change in the body and trying to get all levels of each system back to it's regular functioning levels?
Thank you,
Julianne
Which of the following statements is CORRECT in describing the positive feedback control systems in our body?
Group of answer choices
The response counteracts the stimulus, shutting off the response loop.
The response reinforces the stimulus, sending the variable farther from the set-point.
The response is able to move the variable closer to the set-point.
The response is able to move the variable farther from the set-point by suppressing the stimulus.

- The autonomous nervous system regulates involuntary functions of the body and can be subdivided into the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system. Both of these systems control the same group of body functions, but have opposite effects on the functions they regulate. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for intense physical activity like the fight-or-flight response. The parasympathetic nervous system has the opposite effect and relaxes the body and inhibits or slows many high energy functions. Which of the following involuntary effects in the body are brought about by the sympathetic nervous system during a fight-or- flight situation? i. Increased salivation ii. Increased digestion ii. Loss of bowel and bladder control iv. Body shivering Сrying Pupil dilation B. i, iv and v V. vi. A. i, ii and vi C. iii, iv and vi D. iii and varrow_forward5.
