17 Questions
Thermoreceptors detect changes in the external environment.
False
Feedback loops respond to deviations from the set point, maintaining equilibrium.
True
Negative feedback loops serve to intensify a response until an endpoint is reached.
False
Hormonal regulation is an example of a negative feedback loop.
True
Receptors are only sensitive to changes in the external environment.
False
The body's response to a stimulus is to maintain the same level of activity.
False
The set point is the highest possible value of a physiological variable.
False
Hormones play a role in regulating body temperature.
True
Receptors detect changes in the external environment only.
False
When the outside temperature drops, the body equilibrates with the environment to maintain its internal temperature.
False
A stimulus is a change in the internal environment only.
False
The goal of homeostasis is to maintain a constant level of activity in the body.
False
The main function of osmoregulation is to regulate the body's temperature.
False
Homeostasis is maintained by a single component that responds to changes in the internal environment.
False
The set point is the normal range of a variable that is being regulated.
True
Hormonal regulation is not involved in the process of maintaining homeostasis.
False
Receptors are responsible for responding to the stimulus to maintain homeostasis.
False
