the internal environment to stability. Answer: effectors
◉ Which of the following is not a requirement to maintain life?.
Answer: metabolism
◉ Homeostatic Mechanisms consist of _____ components. Answer: 3
◉ Structures that monitor deviation from a _________ and provide
information about changes in specific conditions in the internal
environment. Answer: set point

maintain temperature is. Answer: 98.6 or 37 7.35 and 7.45(basic)
,◉ __________ that bring about the changes necessary to bring a
variable back to its set point or normal range. Answer: muscle cell or
glands
◉ Homeostatic Mechanisms. Answer: receptors, control center,
effectors, response, stimulus
◉ A mechanism by which a deviation in a variable from its _______
moves conditions ________ from the normal range. Answer: set point
and farther away
◉ change from the set point. Answer: increase
◉ many positive feedback mechanism produce unstable conditions
in the body but they are short-lived and eventually bring about
homeostasis. Answer: Positive Feedback
◉ Not a common type of homeostatic mechanism in the body.
Answer: ex- childbirth and blood clots

is. Answer: corrected
,◉ used in most homeostatic mechanisms. Answer: negative
feedback
◉ when receptors detect that a variable was deviated from its set
point, effectors return conditions towards normal. Answer: ex-
shivering and sweating
