organ.
organ. organism. positive feedback system. organ system. organelle. Which of the following statements regarding responsiveness, or irritability, is FALSE? Responsiveness, or irritability, is a necessary life function. All body cells are irritable to some extent. Because nerve cells are slightly irritable and communicate rapidly with each other via hormones, the nervous system bears the major responsibility for responsiveness. You do not need to think about responsiveness, such as involuntarily pulling your hand away from a painful stimulus. None of the statements is false. The ability of the body to maintain a relatively stable internal environment is referred to as: equilibrium. homeostasis. metabolism. negative feedback. positive feedback.
Because nerve cells are slightly irritable and communicate rapidly with each other via hormones, the nervous system bears the major responsibility for responsiveness.

The effector is usually a type of sensor that monitors and responds to changes in the environment. Information in homeostatic control mechanisms flows from the receptor to the control center via the efferent pathway. The control center determines the set point at which a variable is to be maintained, analyzes the information it receives, and then determines the appropriate response or course of action. Information flows from the control center to the effector along the afferent pathway. A and B.

Which of the following statements regarding feedback mechanisms is/are FALSE?
https://quizlet.com/59197808/the-essentials-of-human-anatomy-and-physi...
Blood clotting is an example of a typical negative feedback mechanism.
Positive feedback mechanisms tend to increase the original stimulus and to push the variable farther from its original value. In negative feedback mechanisms, the net effect of the responses to the stimulus is to shut off the original stimulus or reduce its intensity. Positive feedback mechanisms control infrequent events that occur "explosively." Blood clotting is an example of a typical negative feedback mechanism. When the body is subject to physical trauma, such as in an automobile accident, which organs are the most vulnerable to injury (homeostatic imbalance)?
Abdominal organs in the abdominal cavity.
Abdominal organs in the abdominal cavity. Pelvic organs in the abdominopelvic cavity. Heart and lungs in the thoracic cavity. The brain in the cranial cavity. The spinal cord within the spinal cavity. The axillary region is in the: back of the knee. mouth. armpit. shoulder. knee.
armpit.
