PSL 250 Final Exam Prep
physiology correct answers study of how the body functions
Pathophysiology correct answers disease or injury affects physiological processes
comparative physiology correct answers differences and similarities in functions of invertebrates and vertebrates, development of pharma drugs
C correct answers Which of the following is the study of how the human body is impacted by an injury or disease?
A.Physiology
B.Comparative Physiology
C.Pathophysiology
D.None of the above
Homeostasis correct answers the constancy of internal environment, main purpose of our physiological mechanisms
C correct answers All the following are TRUE about the Scientific Method EXCEPT
A.Results must be replicated before a conclusion can be accepted
B.A hypothesis must be testable
C.Results from a single study are the sole basis of a scientific theory
D.The development of a hypothesis result from some initial observation
receptors correct answers act as sensors to detect change and send info to integrating center
integrating center correct answers assesses change around a set point, sends instructions to effector
effector correct answers (muscle or gland), adjusts to counter the change from set-
point
negative feedback loop correct answers moves in opposite direction from the change, makes change from set-point smaller, reverses the change in the set-point, continuous process/fine adjustments to stay in homeostasis, i.e. body temp and blood glucose levels
D correct answers Which component of a negative feedback loop detects a change in a
physiological variable?
