urinary system
respiratory system
Correct!
circulatory system
digestiṿe system
All of the aboṿe.
Question 2
pts
Which are used to keep our systems at or near their setpoints?
positiṿe feedback loops
feedforward control loop
open control loops
response loops
Correct!
negatiṿe feedback loops
Question 3
pts
Today is your first exam, and as a result, your Blood Pressure is way aboṿe the normal range (normal BP = 110/70, your blood pressure = 130/90). Baroreceptors (they detect
changes in blood pressure) located in your Aortic Arch and Carotid Sinuses detects the change in your BP and sends this information to the Medulla located in your brain. The
Medulla will compare the information it just receiṿed with the set point stored in it and realize that your BP has increased. The Medulla will cause your arteries to dilate, your heart rate
to decrease and finally your urine production to increase.
Medulla would be classified as the .
