A CT scan allows for a three-dimensional image to be generated. 112\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 113\) True or False? Positive-feedback mechanisms are always damaging to the body. 113\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 114\) True or False? The part of the feedback mechanism that processes information, relates it to other information, and makes a decision of action is the receptor. 114\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 115\) True or False? The control center compares input from a receptor with the ideal normal value for a condition called a set point. 115\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 116\) True or False? Positive feedback mechanisms are less common in healthy individuals than negative feedback mechanisms. 116\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 117\) True or False? Whereas a \'plane\' describes an imaginary flat surface, a \'section\' describes a way to cut an organ. 117\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 118\) True or False? The thoracic cavity is divided into right and left parts by a median partition called the sternum. 118\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 119\) True or False? Both the spleen and the urinary bladder are contained within the pelvic cavity subdivision of the abdominopelvic cavity. 119\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 120\) True or False? The kidneys are contained within the pelvic cavity subdivision of the abdominopelvic cavity. 120\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 121\) True or False? Scientists believe that any significant change in the composition of the microbiome of the human integumentary system may increase a person's susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. 121\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 122\) True or False? It has been suggested by some scientists that early exposure to antibiotics that significantly change the makeup of the microbes in the human intestines may increase a person's susceptibility to autoimmune diseases like Crohn\'s disease and asthma. 122\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 123\) True or False? Many undergraduate anatomy programs study cats and rats in laboratory settings. Use of these animals is ideal because they are inexpensive, and although they are physically smaller, the internal structures are identical to humans. 123\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 124\) True or False? With regard to biomedical research, because rats, pigs, apes, and other mammals share over 90% of the same genes as humans, these animals are always good predictors for how humans will respond to a specific drug therapy. 124\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 125\) True or False? With regard to biomedical research, it has been found that drugs that are toxic to one mammal species will be toxic to another mammal species. 125\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 126\) True or False? Rats and humans share over 90% of the same genes. 126\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 127\) True or False? A molecule of water is more complex than a mitochondrion (organelle). 127\) \_\_\_\_\_\_ ⊚ true\ ⊚ false 128\) True or False?
