EEOB 2520 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS 2026/2027
Physiology - ANSWERSHow an organism works
Anatomy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics - ANSWERSPhysiology is an integration of
ATP <--> ADP + Pi + energy - ANSWERSEquation 1
Glucose + O2 + ADP + Pi -> ATP + CO2 + H2O + heat - ANSWERSEquation 2
CO2 + H2O = HCO3- + H+ - ANSWERSEquation 3
Equation 3 - ANSWERSAiding transport of a key gas, but creating a pH issue
Equation 3 - ANSWERSNot as common of an equation but is still critical because it
gives us an alternate way to make CO2 that doesn't like to move in our blood
PV=nRT - ANSWERSEquation 4
Equation 4 (PV=nRT) - ANSWERSKey equation for lungs, blood pressure
Homeostasis - ANSWERSRelatively stable maintenance of a body parameter
Dynamic Constancy - ANSWERSMovement to change homeostasis to
Homeostatic Control System - ANSWERSSet of interconnected components that are
working together to keep this parameter where it is supposed to be
Keep parameter at set point - ANSWERSPurpose of the homeostatic control system
Steady state - ANSWERSParameter at set point
Steady state - ANSWERSAsks the questions: Have we achieved this goal? Are we at
our target?
Steady state - ANSWERSIf we are within the range of the set point we are in _____
not changing, energy - ANSWERSIn steady state, system is ____, but ____ is being
used
Equilibrium - ANSWERS_____ is NOT steady state
, Feedback - ANSWERSReactive disturbance
Negative feedback - ANSWERSReaction opposite of disturbance direction
Negative feedback - ANSWERSMore common reaction to maintain homeostasis
Negative feedback - ANSWERSReturn toward SS/SP
Positive feedback - ANSWERSReaction continuing in disturbance direction
Positive feedback - ANSWERSMove further from SS/SP
Feedforward - ANSWERSProactive disturbance
Feedforward - ANSWERSAnticipating a disruption from our steady state and trying to
avoid that disruption
Feedforward - ANSWERSLimits the degree of feedback required when we do get
placed out of SS
Feedforward - ANSWERSLess energy is required for this type of reaction
Feedforward - ANSWERSBiorhythms have a _____ component
Internal clock, environment - ANSWERSBiorhythms utilize an _____, which is not
altered by the _____
Adaptation, genetic change - ANSWERSBiorhythms have been developed through
_____ and ____ _____
Acclimatization - ANSWERSthe process in which an individual organism adjusts to a
gradual change in its environment allowing it to maintain performance across a range of
environmental conditions
Acclimatization - ANSWERSHow we as individuals adjust our biorhythms
Environment - ANSWERSWe use the _____ to reset our internal clock and change our
set point
Use-based - ANSWERSAcclimatization is a _____ process
Genetic change - ANSWERSAcclimatization is NOT a
Developmental Acclimatization - ANSWERSChanges that are irreversible by adulthood
Receptor --> stimulus - ANSWERSAfferent pathway
