Homeostasis and Body Systems

According to the model, what is the response to HIGH blood glucose (sugar)?

• Pancreas releases insulin into blood

• Pancreas releases glucagon into blood

According to the model, what would happen if the pancreas did NOT detect rising blood glucose (sugar) level?

• Blood sugar would return to normal

• Most body cells would take up more glucose

• Blood sugar would stay above normal

• The liver would get the message to store glucose as glycogen

The maintenance of an organism’s internal environment is called:

• compensating

• homeostasis

• balancing

• routine

Homeostasis in the human body is often maintained by a: 

• neutral feedback loop 

• solar feedback loop

• positive feedback loop

• negative feedback loop

What do you think homeostasis is?

• Keeping your body systems stable

• Staying at home

• Making body systems unstable

Homeostasis

• allows for a wildly fluctuating internal environment

• is impossible in vertebrates

• is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment

• is the maintenance of a relatively stable external environment
