parameter at a set point that _______ change over the course of a lifetime.
endocrines - Answer While studying for physiology, Brutus makes the poor decision to ask

_______.
Equation 2 - Answer Considering only our four equations for physiology, _______ shows the
storage of energy.
different from; mitosis - Answer Each primary category of cells is proteomically _______ the
other categories and new cells in a category are created by _______.
feedforward - negative feedback - positive feedback - Answer The correct ordering from least

an example of _______.
integrator; set point - Answer In the reflex template, the _______ determines if the deviation
from _______ is great enough to trigger a response.
1. neurotransmitter and paracrine; travel short distances; endocrines typically travel long
distances
2. paracrine and neurotransmitter; move through the fluid BETWEEN the cells; endocrines move
through the blood
3. endocrine and neurotransmitter; are released by a limited number of cells; paracrine can be
released by nearly every cell - Answer The indirect signals of _______ can be combined
because they _______ while _______.
, 3; bidirectional - Answer Our Equation _______ is a _______ equation and is associated with
creating acid in the body.
negative feedback occurred, acclimatization occurred, and there was maintenance of steady
state - Answer You decided to spend a term studying abroad at the University of Antarctica.
On arriving, the pervasive cold starts to immediately lower your body temperature and you
shiver to keep warm. However, after a few weeks, the temperatures do not seem as cold.
Correct statements about the changes relative to comfortable temperature in your physiology
since your arrival in Antarctica are that _______, _______, and _______.
at least one of her biorhythms has been changed; she has had to acclimate to the earlier time to
get up in the morning - Answer Unbeknownst to most, Carmen is an avid curler (not hair but
stones on ice). To slide her game to a new level, at the beginning of the month, Carmen started
waking up extra early to practice her sweeping technique with her teammates. Correct
statements about resulting changes to her physiology are that _______ and _______.
juxtacrines, tunneling nanotubes, gap junctions - Answer The structures or signals that are
used for direct intercellular communication are _______, _______, and _______.
she was NOT able to match the fat profile; she was NOT able to match the level of a specific
protein in Omar's cheek sample to that of the blood - Answer In a failed attempt to be
humorous, Omar and Kolin decide to toilet paper Dr. Bronson's office. Unfortunately, clumsy
Kolin clocks Omar in the nose while tossing a roll. Omar's blood drips all over Dr. Bronson's desk
before the two get out of the room. After finding the damage, Dr. Bronson collects cheek swabs
from all of the staff to determine the culprit who left the blood. Correct statements are what
she was able to learn are that _______ and _______.
the effector will ALWAYS have the same genetic information as the sensor/receptor; an afferent
pathway will NEVER carry the signal to the effector - Answer Correct statements about the
reflex template when applied within a single individual are that _______ and _______.
tissues DO NOT have functional units; some organs DO NOT consist of all four primary types of
cells - Answer Correct statements about body organization are that _______ and _______.
she will be using homeostatic control systems; she will be using Equation 2 more in her new
tank than in her previous tank - Answer In an attempt to not live up to her name anymore,
Shelby, the tumbling turtle, received a new tank over Winter Break. Hopefully now she will be
unable to climb out and crack her shell as she tumbles to the floor. Unfortunately, in the transfer
of the components of the new tank, the heater was broken. Consequently, the water in the new
tank is very cold, too cold really. Correct statements about shelby are that _______ and
_______.
