Homeostasis Storyline

A football player perspires during a football game. The sweat is a cooling mechanism. What is this an example of?

• Digestion

• Mitosis

• Homeostasis

• Respiration

Diagram shows two students doing exercise. What happens to their body temperature after exercise?

• Increase

• Decrease

• Remains the same

• Continues to increases

If the environment gets cold, we will often shiver in order to:

• keep body temperature the same as the external temperature

• decrease body temperature

• increase body temperature

• regulate blood pressure

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

• compensating

• homeostasis

• balancing

• routine

• To change blood type

• To alter genetic information

When blood sugar levels rise after eating, the pancreas releases insulin. This is an example of:

• Digestion

• Homeostasis

• Excretion

• Photosynthesis

Which organ is primarily responsible for maintaining homeostasis by filtering blood?

In a hot environment, humans sweat to cool down. This process is an example of:

• Respiration

• Homeostasis
