Module 4: BIOD 102/ BIOD102 (Latest 2025/ 2026 Update) Essential Biology II W/Lab | Questions & Answers| Grade A| 100% Correct (Verified Solutions)- Portage Learning QUESTION Evaporative cooling in the form of sweating is the most efficient method to reduce body temperature and is often the first line of intervention used to assist a patient in reducing body temperature. What are behavioral changes one can make to return the body to its optimal set point? Answer: behavioral changes, such as seeking shade or taking off layers of clothing or covering, are also ways to increase heat loss and return the body temperature to its set point range. QUESTION Calcitonin is a peptide hormone that is manufactured and released by the _________of the thyroid. Answer: parafollicular cells QUESTION Chemoreceptors sense changes in each of the following except: a. Blood oxygen concentration b. Blood carbon dioxide concentration c. Blood phosphate levels d. Blood pH Answer: c QUESTION What is the role of estrogen during parturition? Answer: It increases the sensitivity of uterine smooth muscle to facilitate contraction. QUESTION Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding PTH? a. It directly increases blood calcium levels by stimulating the work of osteoclasts. b. It directly increases blood calcium levels by binding to kidney tubules, increasing the reabsorption of calcium. c. It indirectly increases blood calcium levels by stimulating the kidneys to promote the activation of Vitamin D. d. All of the above Answer: d QUESTION Explain how epinephrine works to increase blood pressure. Answer: Epinephrine is a hormone that targets the heart, blood vessels, liver, and adipose tissue. Binding to heart cells increases heart rate and stroke volume, thereby increasing blood pressure. The smooth muscle of the blood vessel walls is stimulated to constrict, which also contributes to an increase in blood pressure QUESTION The binding of glucagon to ______ tissue facilitates the conversion of stored glycogen into glucose in a process called _________. Answer: liver; glycogenolysis QUESTION Explain how Angiotensin II and aldosterone work together to increase blood pressure. Answer: Angiotensin II targets cells of the adrenal cortex. The cells of the adrenal cortex respond to angiotensin II by increasing the secretion of aldosterone, which is a steroid hormone that targets cells of the distal tubules and collecting ducts to increase reabsorption of sodium and water. This contributes to an increase in blood volume. The combination of blood vessel constriction (effect of Angiotensin II) and increased blood volume contributes to a rise in blood pressure QUESTION Describe a heat-generating mechanism used by the body when a drop in body temperature is detected. Answer: When core temperature drops, skeletal muscles are stimulated to move to produce friction and heat through shivering. Shivering is a mechanism that produces and conserves heat QUESTION What happens if calcium
