To make sure the conditions in the body are always changing
To make sure the conditions in the body remain stable
In this body temperature feedback loop, predict what would happen if cooling mechanisms were NOT activated?
The body would not warm up.
The body would not cool down.
Your body would get colder and colder.
Your body would release lots of heat.
What happens after the second time you are exposed to a pathogen?
The body will not be able to fight off the pathogen quickly, because it knows how to get into the body easier.
The body's immune system will react the same was as it did during the first exposure.
The body can only be exposed to a pathogen a second time if you do not have a vaccine.

A 3 month old baby contracts a virus called whooping cough (pertussis) after receiving the first of a sequence of 3 necessary DPT vaccines designed to prevent 3 diseases (diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus). The vaccines are given at 2, 4, and 6 months of age to allow the body to develop specific immunity against these diseases. After the infant recovered from the disease, the doctor informed the parents that from now on the infant would only need the DT (diphtheria, tetanus) part of the vaccine. Why does the infant only need the DT vaccine?
The infant had the first of a series of vaccines which caused the disease
The infant had the pertussis disease and has already produced antibodies against the disease.
The infant had the first of a series of vaccines which protected him from getting the disease.
The infant had the pertussis disease and will get diphtheria in the future.
