A
Hydrophilic ligands do not cross the cellular membrane and end up using what kind of receptor?
a. Intracellular receptors (cytoplasmic receptors)
b. Extracellular receptors (cell surface receptors)
c. G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)
d. Ligand-gated ion channels
e. Enzyme-linked receptor
B
Maintaining homeostasis is...
a. The tendency to maintain a fixed constant external environment
b.. The tendency to maintain a stable, relatively constant external environment
c. The tendency to maintain a fixed constant internal environment
d. The tendency to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment
e. The tendency to maintain a high rate of body metabolism
D
Thermoregulation is an example of a negative feedback mechanism because...
a. When your body temperature increases (as in a fever), the body metabolizes to increase your body temperature to kill off diseases
b. When your body temperature increases or decreases, the body metabolizes to return body temperature to normal
c. When your body temperature decreases (as in a cold environment), the body metabolizes to decreases your body temperature to conserve energy for later usage
d. When your body temperature increases or decreases, the body metabolizes to increase or decrease your body temperature (respectively) in order to kill off diseases or to conserve energy for later usage (respectively).
e. None of the above
B
Which of the following processes is a positive feedback mechanism?
a. Temperature regulation
b. Blood pressure regulation
c. Blood sugar regulation
d. Thyroid regulation
e. Blood clotting
E
Why are so few processes positive feedback mechanisms?
a. Positive feedback mechanisms can be dangerous or fatal since they draw the body into unnatural situations
b. Positive feedback mechanisms can be dangerous or fatal since it weakens the body and decreases metabolism rate
c. Positive feedback mechanisms increase the original stimulus to push the variable farther, which can be unstable and if left unchecked can be dangerous or fatal
d. Positive feedback mechanisms decrease the original stimulus to push the variable farther, which can be unstable and if left unchecked can be dangerous or fatal
e. The statement is false; there are more positive feedback mechanisms in our body than negative feedback mechanisms
C
Where is the hypothalamus located and what does it do?
a. Heart; maintain body temperature

c. Brain; maintain body temperature
d. Brain; maintain heart and breathing rate
e. None of the above
C
Humans sweat in order to...
a. Increase body temperature
b. Decrease body temperature
c. Increase heart rate
d. Decrease heart rate
e. None of the above
B
