• Homeostasis

• Transportation

• Melanin

• Voluntary

Which of the following is a way in which the human body maintains homeostasis?

• Goosebumps and shivering to produce body heat when the temperature is too cold

• Sweating when the body becomes too warm

• Alerting the brain when something hot is touched so you can pull away in time

• All of these are ways in which the human body maintains homeostasis

The outer layer of skin, the epidermis, is a layer of tissue that covers and acts as a protective barrier. If this layer of skin was burned, the biggest risk would be:

• Dry Skin

• Acne/Pimples

• Infections in uncovered tissue

• Muscle cramping

• cell

• tissue

• organism

The structures in the integumentary system that decrease heat loss, protect the scalp from sunburn, filter air, and keep foreign particles out of the eyes and inner ear are called:

• Nails

• Hair

• Sweat Glands

• Sensory Receptors

There is a tissue attached to each hair that contracts to pull the hair, causing it to stand up and create “goose bumps”. This tissue can also shiver to produce heat. What function does this help the skin perform?

• Respiration

• Response to touch

• Regulation of body temperature

• Delivery of oxygen to cells

7.12 b

The body eliminates waste such as salt through which of the following? This process makes the skin part of two systems: the integumentary system and the excretory system.

• Sensory receptors

• Nails

• Sweat glands

• Hair

Which system regulates temperature by producing perspiration (sweat)?

• Respiratory

• Nuclear

• Integumentary

• Muscular

The inner layer of skin, the dermis, is a layer of living tissues that contains structures which send electrical signals to the part of your nervous system called the brain. This helps the skin to perform which function?

• Respiration

• Deliver oxygen to cells

• Regulate body temperature

• Respond to touch
