Homeostasis and Diabetes

What hormone is produced in the pancreas that raises blood sugar?

• Insulin

• Glucagon

• Ketones

• Glucose

Homeostasis

• allows for a wildly fluctuating internal environment

• is impossible in vertebrates

• is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation

• is the maintenance of a relatively stable external environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation

In a negative feedback loop, what happens to a variable (like temperature) when it increases past its normal state?

• It continues to increase.

• It decreases until it resumes its normal state.

• It decreases until it is lower than its normal state.

• It does not change.

• insulin

• ketones

• glucagon

• glucose

When you are cold, you shiver and your blood vessels contract, which warms you up. When you are hot, you sweat and your blood vessels expand, which cools you down.
