Loop Parts
This word names the body’s ability to keep its internal conditions stable, even when things change.
What is homeostasis?
This type of feedback reverses a change to bring the body back toward its normal range.
What is a negative feedback loop?
The smallest unit of life, it is the first level of organization.
What is the cell?
Sweating and widening the blood vessels in your skin help keep this body condition steady during exercise.
What is body temperature?
The class you are in currently.
What is Human Biology?
In a feedback loop, this is the change that causes the body to react.
What is the stimulus?
Labor contractions that get stronger until a baby is born are an example of this type of feedback.
What is a positive feedback loop?
A group of similar cells working together is called this.
What is a tissue?
Baroreceptors in the carotid arteries and aorta detect changes in this.
What is blood pressure?
Mr. Velasco's dog breed.
What is a Husky?
Thermoreceptors that detect a rise in body temperature play this role in the loop.
What is the receptor?
Breathing faster to lower a high level of carbon dioxide in the blood is an example of this type of feedback.
What is a negative feedback loop?
The stomach is an example of this level, made of different tissues working together.
What is an organ?
This hormone strengthens labor contractions in a positive feedback loop.
What is oxytocin?
This song makes So'Nyah cry.
What is Lukas Graham's 7 years.
Usually the brain, this part receives the message and decides how the body should respond.
What is the control center?
This usually ends a positive feedback loop, such as a baby being born or a clot sealing a wound.
What is reaching the goal (the stimulus is removed)?
The respiratory system and the digestive system are examples of this level.
What is an organ system?
In blood clotting, these cell fragments detect a damaged vessel wall and attract more of themselves.
What are platelets?
These two students always try to sneak their phone.
Who is Mason?
Or
Who is Noah?
When sweat glands release sweat to cool you down, they are acting as this part of the loop.
What is the effector?
If negative feedback stopped working, variables like temperature or blood pressure could do this.
What is move too far from their normal range?
Put these in order from smallest to largest: organ system, tissue, organism, cell, organ.
What is cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism?
After a sprint, this part of the brainstem acts as the control center that increases the breathing rate to lower blood carbon dioxide.
What is the medulla oblongata?
This Mr. Velasco's middle name.
What is Jorge?
