set, feedback, error
what is a set point?
a reference point
what is feedback information telling you?
what's happening in the system
what is an error signal?
any difference between the set point and feedback information
negative feedback causes _______ to counteract the influence that creates an _____ _______
effectors; error signal
positive feedback ______ a response and increases ________ from a set point
amplifies; deviation
feedforward info anticipates _______ _______ and changes the ___ ______
internal changes; set point
_______ ______: obtain, integrate, and process info
regulatory systems
regulatory systems issue commands to _______ _______
controlled systems
regulatory systems contain ______ to provide feedback info that's compared to the ____ ______
sensors; set point
effectors include ____, ____ and ____ that respond to commands from the ______ system
cells, tissues, organs; regulatory
effectors are ______ systems
controlled
regulatory systems receive info as ________ feedback, which causes _______ to reduce or reverse a process
negative; effectors
four types of tissue: ________, _______, _______, ________ (ECMN)
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
complex multicellular animals are possible because of a _____ ________ environment of _______ fluid
stable, internal
extracellular
extracellular fluid includes ____ _______ and _______ _____ that bathes each cell.
blood plasma and interstitial fluid
what are the two types of functions used to maintain the internal environment?
internal and external
external functions include the transport of ______ and ______ and maintenance of ___ ________
waste and nutrients
ion concentrations
internal functions include _______, energy _________, _________ and information ____________
(CSMP)
circulation, storage, movement, processing
most living cells function is limited to what range? what's the 'but'?
0-45 degrees celsius
even with this range temperature can still cause problems for animals
most physiological processes are ______ sensitive. when do they go faster?
temperature
go faster at higher temperaturesQ
What's the equation for Q?
Reaction at a particular temp (rt) divded by the rate of that reaction at 10 degrees lower (rt-10)
animals have three classifications according to the sources of heat that determine their body temperature. what are they?
ectotherms, endotherms, and heterotherms
what are ectotherms? what animals fall in this category?
depend on external heat sources to maintain body temperature; most animals aside from mammals and birds fall in this category
what are endotherms? what animals fall in this category?
regulate body temperature by generating metabolic heat/preventing heat loss

mammals/birds
what are heterotherms? what's an example of an animal that is a heterotherm?
animals that regulate their body temperature at a constant level SOME of the time

ex: hibernating animals
an endotherm will ______ its ______ rate to maintain its body temperature in cold conditions
increase; metabolic
both endoderms and ectoderms may use ________ regulation to maintain body temperature. example?
behavioral

ex: moving into sun
endotherms respond to environmental change by changing their rate of ______ _______
heat production
the basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the metabolic rate of ________ animal within the ________ zone
resting;
thermoneutral
the BMR of an endoctherm is how many times of that of an ectotherm?
six
the thermnoetural zone is bound by ____ _____ and ____ ____ temperature
lower critical and upper critical
when environmental temperature falls below the lower critical temperature, mammals _________ by generating heat, aka _________, via ______/_____ heat production
thermoregulate
thermogenesis
shivering/nonshivering
what animals only use the shivering mechanism and not the nonshivering mechanism of thermogenesis?
birds
in shivering, _______ muscles use ATP to release heat. ______ ______ movement also generates heat
skeletal
active body
most nonshivering heat production occurs in specialized _____ _____ called ______ fat. it has abundant ________ and rich _____ supply
adipose tissue
brown
mitochondria
blood
brown fat cells have the protein _______ which uncouples ______ movement from ______ production
thermogenin
proton
atp
the regulator of body temperature is located at the bottom of the brain in the __________
hypothalamus
animals can save energy by turning down the 'thermostat' to below normal. what is this called?
hypothermia
_____ ______ is an adaptive hypothermia that saves metabolic energy
daily torpor
regulated hypothermia's called what?
hibernation
