Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 10mins
Temperature Control: Too Hot
Body sweats to cool down.
Body shivers to generate heat.
Body increases blood flow to the skin.
Body retains heat to stay warm.
Growth and Development
Controlled by hormones from the endocrine system.
Influenced by environmental factors only.
Determined solely by genetics.
A process that occurs only in childhood.
Respiratory System during Exercise
Breathes faster to supply more oxygen.
Breathes slower to conserve energy.
Breathes normally regardless of activity level.
Breathes only through the mouth during exercise.
Nervous System function
Controls all body functions, processes information from senses, sends messages
Regulates body temperature and metabolism
Facilitates digestion and nutrient absorption
Supports immune response and healing
Purpose of Homeostasis
Keeps everything in the body just right.
Regulates body temperature only.
Increases metabolic rate during exercise.
Promotes growth and development of tissues.
Chemical Messenger
Another term for hormones.
Substances that speed up chemical reactions.
Elements that combine to form compounds.
Particles that carry electric charge.
Sweating during Exercise
Helps cool the body down.
Increases body temperature.
Dehydrates the body.
Reduces muscle fatigue.
Shivering
A heating mechanism activated when the body is too cold.
A process of muscle contraction to generate heat.
A response to excessive heat in the body.
A method of cooling the body down.
Real-Life Example of Homeostasis
Temperature and blood sugar control.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the lungs.
Digestion of food in the stomach.
Absorption of nutrients in the intestines.
Role of the Digestive System
Acts as your food processor
Stores energy for later use
Filters toxins from the blood
Regulates body temperature
Metabolism Regulation
A function of the endocrine system.
A process that occurs only in the liver.
An activity that only muscles perform.
A type of cellular respiration.
Examples of homeostasis
Body temperature, blood sugar, water balance
Heart rate, muscle strength, lung capacity
Skin color, hair texture, eye color
Height, weight, shoe size
Homeostasis
Homeostasis is your body's "balance keeper," maintaining a stable internal environment.
Homeostasis refers to the process of digestion in the body.
Homeostasis is the body's method of fighting infections.
Homeostasis is the way the body stores energy.
Heating Mechanism
Shivering helps increase body temperature.
Sweating helps decrease body temperature.
Drinking hot liquids helps increase body temperature.
Breathing rapidly helps decrease body temperature.
Body Response to Hunger
Triggers signals to indicate the need for food.
Suppresses appetite and increases energy levels.
Increases metabolism and reduces cravings.
Stimulates the release of digestive enzymes.
Endocrine System during Exercise
Releases hormones to control energy.
Inhibits hormone production to conserve energy.
Increases blood flow to the digestive system.
Decreases metabolic rate to save energy.
Temperature Control: Too Cold
Body sweats to cool down.
Body shivers to warm up.
Body increases blood flow to the skin.
Body releases heat through respiration.
Role of the Respiratory System
Acts as your air manager
Filters toxins from the blood
Regulates body temperature
Produces hormones for digestion
Role of the Nervous System
Acts as your control center
Regulates body temperature
Produces hormones
Facilitates digestion
Homeostasis analogy
Like having a thermostat inside you that keeps everything just right
Like a car engine that runs without any fuel
Like a plant that grows without sunlight
Like a computer that functions without electricity
