HOMEOSTASIS LAB - SOPHIA LEARNING
FINAL TEST 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Glucagon.
Answer: A hormone that raises blood glucose by stimulating glycogen
breakdown and glucose release.
◍ Lab diabetes activity goal.
Answer: Determine which patient has diabetes using Benedict's test.
◍ -stasis.
Answer: stopping, controlling
◍ Disturbance in homeostasis.
Answer: Any external or internal change that pushes a variable away from
its set point.
◍ Controlled variable in blood pressure loop.
Answer: Blood pressure.
◍ the kidneys produce more dilute urine (more water excreted).
Answer: a response to high water levels in the body
◍ hypothalamus.
Answer: control center for regulating body temperature
◍ What Benedict's test indicates.
Answer: Color change in the presence of sugar.
◍ Specialized connective tissues.
Answer: Cartilage, bone, and blood.
◍ the kidneys make the urine more concentrated (less water).
, Answer: a response to low water levels in the body
◍ Other variables regulated by homeostasis.
Answer: Temperature, blood glucose, pH, ion concentration.
◍ Main components of connective tissue.
Answer: Cells, extracellular matrix, and extracellular fibers.
◍ Purpose of the leaky cup model.
Answer: To illustrate how sensors, controllers, and effectors maintain stable
conditions despite disturbances.
◍ skin turns red, sweat is produced, vasodilation near the sskin surface.
Answer: response to increased body temperature
◍ Purpose of Benedict's test.
Answer: Detect presence of reducing sugars such as glucose.
◍ Squamous epithelium.
Answer: Flat cells found in structures such as intestinal serosa.
◍ Homeostatic range.
Answer: The acceptable variation around a set point where the body still
functions normally.
◍ Example of positive feedback.
Answer: Blood clotting.
◍ Response when blood pressure decreases.
Answer: Heart rate increases.
◍ Types of connective tissue fibers.
Answer: Collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers.
◍ thermoregulation.
Answer: the process by which animals maintain an internal temperature
within a tolerable range
◍ Collagen fibers.
Answer: Strong and flexible fibers providing structural strength.
