- Negative
- Positive
Correct Answer

A. Negative
4.

What is the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal environment in response to a changing environment called?
- Steady state
- Equilibrium
- Homeostasis
- Depolarized
Correct Answer

A. Homeostasis
5.

Positive feedback systems increase or decrease the deviation from the basal condition?
- Increase
- Decrease
Correct Answer

A. Increase
6.

Will a well damped system reduce or increase the number of oscillations?
- Reduce
- Increase
Correct Answer

A. Reduce
7.

Will a high gain system bring the system back to the normal quicker or slower?
- Quicker
- Slower
Correct Answer

A. Quicker
8.

An increase in the flow of urine is called
- Diuresis
- Kaliuresis
- Hyperhidrosis
- Hyperuremia
Correct Answer

A. Diuresis
9.

In a control system what is the "error signal?"
- It is the variable that initiates positive feedback.
- There is no error signal in a control system.
- It is the state of the body going into shock.
- It is the amount of deviation from the setpoint.
Correct Answer

A. It is the amount of deviation from the setpoint.
10.

Can equilibrium be unstable and stable?
- Yes
- No
Correct Answer

A. Yes

Explanation

Stable equilibria return to normal after a disturbance, whereas unstable equilibria will not return to normal after a disturbance.If you push a stable equilibria away it will come back to its original state.

Negative feedback systems act to return the system to its basal condition through a series of reactions that reduce or eliminate the:-
- Offensive signal
- Error signal
- Impending signal
- Initiating signal
- Feedback signal
Correct Answer

A. Error signal
12.

What are the mechanisms that reduce the error signal called?
- Reducing agents
- Compensatory mechanisms
- Stimulators
- Homeostatic instruments
- Endogenous pathways
Correct Answer

A. Compensatory mechanisms
13.

An inherited or acquired ion channel abnormality is known as a:
- Channelopathy
- Ion channel conduction block
- Depolarization conduction block
- Hyperpolarization conduction block
Correct Answer

A. Channelopathy
14.

How is the variable maintained within a fairly narrow range?
- It has opposing forces continuosly acting on it.
- It is not contained within a narrow range.
- It self adapts
- It is controlled by biochemical factors acting on it.
Correct Answer

A. It has opposing forces continuosly acting on it.
15.

Compensatory mechnisms are built into the body. The mechanisms must help and, so long as the problem is present, the compensatory mechanisms______________ .
- Never go away
- Must go away to give the body a chance to adapt.
- Will only go away if the problem is fixed
Correct Answer

A. Will only go away if the problem is fixed
16.

What does the term "fully conmpensated" mean?
- The system is now back to normal
- The system has made its best compensatory response but the normal level has not been reached.
- The system has refused to go back to normal.
- The system is below the normal level.
Correct Answer

A. The system has made its best compensatory response but the normal level has not been reached.

Explanation

In otherwords the system has done as best as it can to bring you back to normal.

Correct Answer

A. Intergrator
18.

When is an individual at equilibrium with their environment?
- When their homeostatic mechanisms are in full swing.
- At death.
- During total inactivity
- During a steady state
Correct Answer

A. At death.
