Describe the 2 different methods the endocrine glands have in controlling hormone secretions in the
body.
A. Negative feedback system
B. Direct stimulation from the nervous system - Answer -* Negative Feedback System: A circular
system in which the body responds to a stimulus by changing it in the opposite direction of its original
state.
* Direct Stimulation from the Nervous System: The "fight or flight" response. The secretion of some
hormones is stimulated by sympathetic nerve impulses when an animal feels threatened.
Describe the difference between external respiration and internal respiration - Answer -The
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the inhaled air and the blood flowing through the
pulmonary capillaries, the cells and tissues of the body.
Describe the process of Meiosis. Which cells in the body undergo Meiosis? - Answer -* Meiosis is
when the reproductive cells are produced the chromosomes do not produce a duplicate copy before the
daughter cells pull apart. Half the chromosomes go to each daughter cell but it is entirely random.
Describe the process of Mitosis. Which cells in the body undergo Mitosis? - Answer -* Mitosis is a
process where most of all the cells, the genetic makeup, of the body divide producing a duplicate copy
first. The 2 daughter cells pull apart & half of the chromosomes go to one cell & half go to the other.
During depolarization of a neuron, sodium ions flow into the cell by what type of membrane process? -
Answer -Passive diffusion
Ectothermic animals - Answer -* are unable to generate body heat internally.
* can raise body temperature via metabolic process.
* can regulate temperatures depending on metabolic needs.
* can survive on very small amounts of food.

Glomerular filtration rate refers to how fast plasma is filtered through the glomerulus. - Answer -
True
Haploid chromosome number in the reproductive cell results from what? - Answer -Meiosis
How does the parasympathetic nervous system affect heart rate? - Answer -Decreases heart rate
How does the sympathetic nervous system affect the diameter of the pupils? - Answer -Increases,
or dilates the pupils
How many cervical vertebra do mammals have? - Answer -7

ovulation? in males it stimulates interstitial cells to develop and produce testosterone. - Answer -
Luteinizing hormone - "LH"
In most reptiles, both the lacrimal and harderian glands produce the tear film. - Answer -True
In the female, this hormone stimulates oogenesis and also stimulates cells lining the follicles to produce
and secrete estrogen; in the male it stimulates spermatogenesis? - Answer -Follicle-stimulating
hormone - "FSH"
