- Nervous system
8. Who devised the term Homeostasis?
- Walter Cannon

9. What is intrinsic regulation?
- Slow, whole body response from one tissue type or organ
- Fast, local response from one tissue type or organ
- Fast, whole body response from one tissue type or organ
- Slow, local response from one tissue type or organ
10. What are avoiders?
- maintaining internal state by avoiding external change
- Internal state is different to external environment
- internal state matches external environment
- internal state matches external environment
11. How does the Blue Crab compensate for low salt?
- increases internal ammonia levels
- decreases internal ammonia levels
- increases internal salt levels
- decrease internal salt levels
12. What is the advantage of homeostasis?
- Allows only mammals to exploit wider ranges of environment
- Allows all animals to exploit wider ranges of environment
- Allows some animals to exploit wider ranges of environment
- Allows no animals to exploit wider ranges of environment
13. What is the difference between control systems and maintenance systems?
- There is no difference
- Control systems regulate indirectly, maintenance systems regulate directly
- Control systems regulate directly, maintenance systems regulate indirectly
- Control systems regulate indirectly, maintenance systems don't regulate at all
14. What is extrinsic regulation?
- Fast response through the whole body via interactions between organs
- Fast response through the whole body via interactions between organs
- Slow response through the whole body via interactions between organ systems
- Slow response through the whole body via interactions between organ systems
15. What is acclimatisation?
- Adaptation that alters negative feedback quickly
- Adaptation that alters positive feedback quickly
- Adaptation that alters negative feedback gradually
- Adaptation that alters positive feedback gradually
16. What does extracellular fluid contain?
- O2, Nutrients, H2O, Wastes, By-Products
- O2, Nutrients, By-Products, Glucose
- O2, Nutrients, H2O, Wastes, Plasma
- O2, Nutrients, NH3, Wastes, By-Products
17. What are conformers?
- maintaining internal state by avoiding external change
- internal state matches external environment
- maintaining constant internal state
- Internal state is different to external environment
18. What is negative feedback?
- physiological response in the opposite direction to the detected change
- physiological response in the same direction to the detected change
- metabolic response in the opposite direction to the detected change
- metabolic response in the same direction to the detected change
19. What is enantiostasis?
- Changing homeostasis by changing a physiological variable to compensate for change in another
- Changing homeostasis by changing a metabolic variable to compensate for change in another
- Maintaining homeostasis by changing a physiological variable to compensate for change in another
- Maintaining homeostasis by changing a metabolic variable to compensate for change in another
