Amplification or acceleration of a stimulus, driving a process to completion, promoting greater change to maintain homeostasis 

Positive Feedback

200

What happens if a cell is submerged in a hypertonic solution?

Water leaves the cell and the cell shrinks

300

Nearest to the point of attachment

Proximal

2 body systems that are responsible for sending signals that maintain homeostasis 

Nervous System and Endocrine System

Describe the type of feedback based on the scenario below:

You step on a piece of glass and cut the plantar surface of your foot. A break or tear in a blood vessel occurs, calling platelet adhesion to the damaged site. The activated platelets release chemicals that attract other platelets to the injury. The more platelets arrive, the more chemical signals are sent. This cycle of attraction and activation continues, accelerating the clotting process.  






Positive Feedback

Cellular membranes are made up of a ______________ bilayer.

Phospholipid

What is the product of Translation?

Protein

500

Define isotonic

Equal concentration of solutes and water across a semipermeable membrane

500

Site of blood cell production, Ca+ storage 

Skeletal System

Describe the type of feedback based on the scenario below:

  1. Stimulus: After a meal, your blood glucose levels rise. 
  2. Receptor: Specialized cells in the pancreas detect the increased blood sugar. 
  3. Control Center: The pancreas (the control center) responds to the elevated glucose. 
  4. Response:
    • The pancreas releases the hormone insulin into the bloodstream. 
    • Insulin promotes the absorption of glucose into the body's cells for energy. 
    • Insulin also stimulates the liver and muscle cells to convert excess glucose into glycogen for storage.
  5. Result: These actions cause blood glucose levels to fall.
