Q

Function of endocrine system

A

Produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth, and development.

16
Q

Function of integumentary system

A

Act as a barrier to protect the body from the outside world, protect against diseass, retain body fluids, eliminate waste products, regulate body temperature, and vitamin D synthesis.

17

Taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxoide.

18
Q

A

Control of the body and communication among the body parts.

19
Q

Function of the excretory (urinary) system

A
  • To remove waste from the blood in the form of urine
  • Keep a salt balance in the blood
20

22
Q

Function of the digestive system

A

Converting food into nutrients for the body

23

27
Q

What are the components of a homeostatic mechanism?

Feedback loop

A
  1. Receptor
    1. Is a structure that senses a change in the body
    2. Detects the change
  2. Controller
    1. Integrating center
    2. A mechanism that processes information, relates it to other infomration, and “makes a decision” about the appropriate response
    3. Decides, interprets, commands
  3. Effector
    1. ​Is the cell or organ that carries out the final corrective action
    2. Responds and carries out
28
Q

Purpose of the negative feedback loop

A

To return back to the original state

29
Q

Purpose of the postive feedback loop

A

To move away from the original state

30
Q

Example of negative feedback loop

A
  • Body temperature drops so the muscles start to shiver to increase body temperature
  • Body temperature increases so the skin produces sweat to cool down the body
31
Q

Example of positive feedback loop

A
  • Labor; the baby pushes on the uterus so the uterus contracts which causes the baby to push on the uterus more and more, until the baby cames out
