Human Physiology From Cells to Systems 9th Edition by Lauralee Sherwood -|Test bank| Reviewed/Updated for 2021

Document Content and Description Below

The Test bank borrows from the elaborated text book fielding questions specially tailored to the text book topics to equip the student with what questions to expect in the quiz’s tests and exams. O... rganized around the central theme of homeostasis--how the body meets changing demands while maintaining the internal constancy necessary for all cells and organs to function--HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY helps you appreciate the integrated functioning of the human body. Author Lauralee Sherwood uses clear, straightforward language, analogies, and frequent references to everyday experiences to help you learn and relate to physiology concepts. The vibrant art program and empowering digital resources--including robust 3D animations and rich homework problems --enable you to visualize important concepts and processes. By focusing on the core principles and sharing enthusiasm for the subject matter, Sherwood helps you develop a solid foundation for future courses and careers in the health profession.

Human Physiology From Cells to Systems 9th Edition by Lauralee Sherwood -|Test bank| Reviewed/Updated for 2021Which of the following is correctly matched? a. anatomy/body function b. bacteria/multicellular c. organs/one primary tissue d. physiology/body functioWhich of the following tissues can be found on the outer layer of the skin? a. connective tissue b. endocrine tissue c. epithelial tissue d. muscle tissueWhich of the following systems mainly distributes nutrients and oxygen through the body? a. circulatory system b. digestive system c. endocrine system d. integumentary systemThe hormone insulin enhances the transport of glucose (sugar) from the blood into most of the body’s cells. Its secretion is controlled by a negative-feedback system between the concentration of glucose in the blood and the insulin-secreting cells. Therefore, which of the following statements is correct? a. A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further lowers the blood glucose concentration. b. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn lowers the blood glucose concentration. c. A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn increases the blood glucose concentration. d. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which further increases the blood glucose concentration.Platelets, which have negatively charged cell membranes, adhere to the positively charged surface of a torn blood vessel. As they do so, they release substances that attract more platelets to the damaged area and change the charge on their cell membranes to positive. More platelets adhere to the damaged area. The cycle repeats until the damaged area is sealed. What sort of feedback loop is formed? a. This is a positive feedback loop because the response reinforces the initial change. b. This is a negative feedback loop because the response opposes the initial stimulus. c. This is a negative feedback loop because having too many platelets in one area blocks blood flow. d. This is a positive feedback loop because the response prevents a person from hemorrhaging to death. [Show More]
