Which of the following is not a component of a feedback control loop?

1

Negative feedback control systems:

1

Positive feedback control systems

1

After food enters the stomach, ( feed-forward, negative feedback, positive feedback, extrinsic control ) occurs to increase secretions and assist with digestion in the small intestine.

1

Any given physiological parameter will never deviate beyond the set point.

1

In the thermostatically regulated furnace example of negative feedback, the furnace functions as the sensor.

1

Negative feedback systems are inhibitory.

1

The process of childbirth - in which the baby's head causes increased stretching of the reproductive tract, which in turn feeds back to the brain, thus triggering the release of oxytocin - is an example of positive feedback.

1

When cold weather causes the body temperature to decrease, feedback information is relayed through the nerves to the "thermostat" in a part of the brain called the thalamus.

1

When you experience a bacterial infection, your immune system sends chemicals to signal the brain's hypothalamus to "turn up" the ( set point, effector, sensor, feed forward ) temperature, causing your body to shiver.

is the concept that information may flow ahead to another process to trigger a change in anticipation of an event that will follow.

mechanisms operate at the tissue and organ levels.

Tiny, primitive cells that lack nuclei and may cause infection are .

An inherited trait that puts one at greater than normal risk for development of a specific disease is a .

1

If the body's homeostatic system is working properly, an increase in blood glucose will stimulate physiological reactions to cause an opposing effect or a decrease in blood glucose.

1

During the birth of a baby, oxytocin is released to stimulate labor. This is an example of positive feedback.

1

The formation of a blood clot is an example of a negative feedback.

1

Mechanisms that operate at the cell level are known as intracellular control mechanisms.

1

A secondary infection, such as pneumonia with an AIDS patient, is referred to as an opportunistic infection.

The thermostat of the brain is the ( hypothalamus, thalamus ).

1

The hormone that stimulates contractions during labor is ( oxytocin, progesterone ).

1

Intrinsic control mechanisms are sometimes called ( autoregulation, circadian rhythms ) or circadian rhythms.

( Prions, Protozoa ) are proteins that convert proteins of the cell into different proteins.

( Young adulthood, Infancy ) is the period of greatest homeostatic efficiency.
