,Answer>Muscle tissue
5. Most organs are composed of
Answer> Epithelial, muscle, and connective tissues
6. Sweat is secreted by exocrine glands. This means that
Answer>it is secreted into a duct
7. Which of these statements about homeostasis is true?
Answer> Negative feedback mechanisms act to correct deviations from a normal range within the
internal environment
8. In a negative feedback loop, the effector produces changes that are
Answer> Opposite indirection to the change produced by the initial stimulus
9. A hormone called parathyroid hormone tasked to help raise the blood cal-
cium concentration. According to the principles of negative feedback, and
effective stimulus for parathyroid hormone secretion would be

dioxide concentration, and raises blood pH. According to the principles of
negative feedback, sensors that regulate breathing should respond to
