8. Thermoregulation is the process in which your body regulates hypothalamus to sense normal body temperature.
9. Hypothalamus is what sensors the body temperature.
10a. The two mechanisms the body uses to cool itself are the blood vessels in the skin dilate to radiate heat and the sweat glands increase sweat production.
10b.The two mechanisms the body uses to heat itself are the blood vessels in the skin constrict, reducing heat loss and the muscles begin to shiver, generating heat.
11a. The stimulus is the hypothalamus senses that temperature is too high.
The response would be the blood vessels in the skin dilate to radiate heat and the sweat glands increase sweat production.
11b. The feedback loop is negative because it's bringing the body temperature is going down. …show more content…
The stimulus is the hypothalamus senses that the temperature is too low.
The response would be that the blood vessels in the skin constrict, reducing heat loss and the muscles begin to shiver, generating heat.
12b. The feedback loop would be positive because the body temperature is going up.
13. Example; You're driving a car on the road you have to stay at a certain speed limit of 40 or 45 mph. When you're driving you can't drive too fast because you'll get a ticket, but you can't drive too slow because you'll get a ticket as well. You have to stay at a good speed limit so you won't have to get a ticket.
13a. Yes a positive feedback loop will be helpful in maintaining homeostasis, because if you're driving too slow you will have to increase your speed.
13b. Yes a single negative feedback loop will be helpful in maintaining homeostasis, because if you're driving to fast a signal would be sent to tell you to slow down.
14.The stimulus is the hypothalamus releases oxytocin.
The response would be the uterine walls contract and the baby pushes against the
