Failure to Maintain Homeostasis

The maintenance of an organism’s internal environment is called:

• compensating
• homeostasis
• balancing
• routine

Which body system controls the body to maintain homeostasis?

• excretory

• nervous

• circulatory

• skeletal

What type of feedback loop is shown?

• Positive
• Neutral
• Negative

What is the point of a feedback loop?

• To provide the body with more energy

• To provide the body with more food

• To make sure the conditions in the body are always changing

• To make sure the conditions in the body remain stable

The "cause" for something to happen is called...

• response

• effector

• control center

• stimulus

Metabolism is

• the feedback look that causes you to shiver

• only something plant cells do

• the bodily processes needed to maintain life

• the cell process that excretes fluid through the cell membrane

• when people eat each other

Which part of the homeostasis feedback system is a body part that makes a change to bring the body back to homeostasis?

• effector

• control center

• response

• receptor

Homeostasis negative feedback loops:

• amplify processes

• prevent small changes from getting larger

• are initiated during childbirth

• are found only in plants
