Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
Thermoreceptors are:
Respuesta
  • activated only by severe cold or severe hot
  • located on the superficial layers of the skin
  • a subtype of nociceptors
  • on dendritic endings of A6 fibres and C fibres
  • all of the above

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
The most significant heat source in the body is:
Respuesta
  • cellular respiration
  • conductive heat loss
  • convective heat loss
  • evaporation
  • shivering

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
A major means for conserving heat is:
Respuesta
  • vasodilatation of coetaneous blood vessels
  • increased metabolic rate
  • vasoconstriction of coetaneous blood vessels
  • enhanced sweating
  • increased convective loss

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
The thermoregulatory center is located in:
Respuesta
  • cortex
  • vascular system
  • septal region
  • amygdale
  • hypothalamus

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
What is the normal body temperature?
Respuesta
  • 81.1°C
  • 36.9°C
  • 98.6°C
  • 21.7°C
  • 39.5°C

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
At which temperature does the excitation of the thermoreceptors begin to cause pain?
Respuesta
  • at the temperature which causes tissue damage
  • over 45°C
  • at 30°C
  • at 5°C
  • b, and d

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
Heat stroke is characteristically associated with:
Respuesta
  • profuse sweating
  • elevated basal metabolic rate
  • hot dry skin
  • a and b
  • b and c

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
As ambient temperature increases, heat loss increases by:
Respuesta
  • radiation
  • convection
  • conduction
  • evaporation
  • none of the above

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
Which of the following is not a function of skin?
Respuesta
  • respiration
  • excretion
  • sensation
  • thermoregulation
  • protection

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
Following adaptation to a hot climate there is an increase in:
Respuesta
  • basal metabolic rate
  • heat loss by radiation and convection
  • urinary output
  • the ability to lose heat by sweating
  • decreasing arteriovenous shunting of blood to venous plexus near the surface of the skin

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
Heat - loss mechanisms:
Respuesta
  • by radiation and convection increase when the ambient temperature decreases
  • by evaporation; depend on the activity of sweat glands being under sympathetic muscarinic control
  • are controlled by the anterior hypothalamus
  • cause an increase in sympathetic tone to skin blood vessels
  • decrease arteriovenous shunting of blood to venous plexus near the surface of the skin

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
The set-point temperature of the hypothalamus, triggering heat - loss or heat - generating mechanisms is:
Respuesta
  • 34° C
  • 37° C
  • 20° C
  • 36.3° C
  • 30° C

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
When the temperature of environment is above 34°C, the only heat-loss mechanism is:
Respuesta
  • convection
  • radiation
  • shivering
  • evaporation
  • radiation and convection

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
The set point level for body temperature is situated in:
Respuesta
  • anterior hypothalamus
  • skin
  • spinal cord
  • posterior hypothalamus
  • brown mast tissue

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
The most potent mechanism for increasing heat production is:
Respuesta
  • activation of the parasympathetic nervous system
  • thyroid hormone increasing the metabolic rate
  • shivering
  • radiation
  • decrease in sympathetic tone to skin blood vessels
