Front

What type of feedback system is described above?

Back

positive

Front

What type of feedback system does the model represent? Options: positive, negative, neutral, glyogen

Back

negative

Front

What is the stimulus in the model above?

Back

rising blood glucose level

Front

In a positive feedback loop, each action creates a consequence that _____________________ the other action.

Back

amplifies

Front

In a negative feedback loop, each action creates a consequence that _____________________ the other action.

Back

decreases

Front

Identify the receptor in the diagram

Back

high blood glucose level is detected by insulin secreting cells of the pancreas

Front

Which of the following describes homeostasis?

Back

organism's ability to maintain steady(stable) internal conditions

Front

Identify the corrective mechanism in the diagram:

• High blood glucose level is detected by insulin secreting cells of the pancreas
• Pancreas secretes the hormone insulin
• Rising blood glucose level
• Return to homeostatic blood glucose level

Back

Pancreas secretes the hormone insulin

Front

Identify the set point in the diagram: High blood glucose level is detected by insulin secreting cells in the pancreas, pancreas secretes the hormone insulin, body cells take up more blood glucose, return to homeostatic blood glucose level.

Back

return to homeostatic blood glucose level
