Frage | Antworten |
What Affects An Organisms Ability To Maintain Its Metabolic Rate? | External Factors, abiotic factors |
What Are Abiotic Factors | Non-living |
List Abiotic Factors | •Temperature •PH •Oxygen Concentration •Salinity (Saltiness) |
How Do Regulators Achieve Maintaince? | Through Homoeostasis |
What Is Homoeostasis | Homoeostasis is a process where a change from the normal is detected by receptors & effectors correct this change |
What Does It Cost? | Energy, therefore high metabolic cost |
What Is The Optimum Condition In The Body Referred To? | Set point |
What Causes Negative Feedback To Engage? | When conditions deviate, negative feedback is engaged to return the condition back to set point |
How Is Change Detected? | Change is detected by receptors |
What Signal Is Sent To Effectors? | Nerves/Hormones |
What Do Effectors Do? | Effectors bring about the connective response |
Where Are Thermoreceptors Found? | In the hypothalamus |
What Do Thermoreceptors Do? | Detect the internal temperature of the body |
What Is The Set Point For The Human Body? | 37*C |
What Happens When There Is An Increase In Body Temperature? | Receptors in hypothalamus detect an increase, |
What Do The Receptors Do? | A nervous signal is set to the skin (Effector) |
What Does The Skin Do In Response To The Increase In Temperature? | There is an increase in sweat production from glands The evaporation of sweat cools the body |
What Is Vasodilation? | Vasodilation is when blood vessels in the skin dilate, bringing blood closer to the surface |
How Is Heat Lost? | Heat is lost by radiation |
How Does This Response Affect The Metabolic Rate? | It Decreases the metabolic rate |
What Happens When There Is An Decrease In Body Temperature? | Receptors in hypothalamus detect an decrease, |
What Do The Receptors Do? | Nerve signal is sent to skin |
What Does The Skin Do In Response To The Decrease In Temperature? | Piloerection (Goosebumps) |
What Do Piloerection (Goosebumps) Do? | Hair-erector muscles contract causing hair to rise & trap an insulating layer of air around the body |
What Is Vasoconstriction? | Vasoconstriction is when blood vessels in the skin narrow and move blood from the surface reducing heat loss |
What Are Shivers? | Shivers are rapid contraction of skeletal muscle that results in heat generation by friction |
How Does This Response Affect The Metabolic Rate? | This cause an increase in metabolic rate? |
