Week 4 Anatomy and Physiology Nursing
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Define anatomy | The study of internal and external body structures and their physical relationships among other body parts. |

| What is the function of negative feedback systems in relation to homeostasis? | To change the variable back to its original state, “ideal value”, or homeostasis. |
| Explain how a positive feedback system works? | In a positive feedback system, the output enhances the original stimulus. Whereas in negative feedback, the output reduces the original effect of the stimulus. |
| Why is positive feedback helpful in blood clotting but unsuitable for the regulation of body temperature? | Because positive feedback mechanisms enhance the original stimulus which is the rise in temperature and negative feedback mechanisms inhibit it, positive feedback would keep escalating the rise in temperature until something intervened. |
| Define equilibrium Use body temperature as an example | Equilibrium is a dynamic (constantly changing) state in which two opposing forces or processes are in balance. |
| When the body continuously adapts by utilizing homeostatic systems, it is said to be a state of ________________ equilibrium. | Dynamic |
| Explain how the negative feedback system works? (using thermo-regulation as the example) | A control center in the hypothalamus receives information from temperature receptors in the skin and within the hypothalamus when the temperature rises, the control centers then cause blood vessels to dilate and increase secretion, lowering the body temp. |
| What does it mean if someone says "the regulatory process of thermo-regulation is 'dynamic'"? Give an example in relation to body temperature. | It is constantly changing because the 'set point' may vary with changing environments or differing activity levels. Eg. When you are asleep your thermo-regulatory point is set lower, when your outside on a hot day it is set higher. |
| Explain how the negative feedback system works? (using blood sugar levels as the example) | When blood sugar rises, receptors in the body sense a change . In turn, the control center (pancreas) secretes insulin into the blood effectively lowering blood sugar levels. Once blood sugar levels reach homeostasis, the pancreas stops releasing insulin. |
| In homeostatic control what does the 'Stimulus' do? | Stimulus– produces a change to a variable (the factor being regulated). |
| In homeostatic control what do the 'Receptors' do? | Receptor– detects the change. The receptor monitors the environment and responds to change (stimuli). |
| In homeostatic control what is the 'Input'? | Input– information travels along the (afferent) pathway to the control center. The control center determines the appropriate response and course of action. |
| In homeostatic control what is the 'Output'? | Output– information sent from the control center travels down the (efferent) pathway to the effector. |
| In homeostatic control what is the 'Response'? | Response– a response from the effector balances out the original stimulus to maintain homeostasis. |
| In homeostatic control what do 'Afferent pathways' do? | They carry nerve impulses into the central nervous system. For instance, if you felt scorching heat on your hand, the message would travel through afferent pathways to your central nervous system. |
| In homeostatic control what do 'Efferent pathways' do? | carry nerve impulses away from the central nervous system to effectors (muscles, glands). It would then interact with the effector and travel down the efferent pathway, eventually making the person remove their hand from the scorching heat. |
| Explain how the positive feedback system works? (using child birth as an example) | During labor, a hormone, oxytocin is released that intensifies and speeds up contractions. The increase of contractions causes more oxytocin to be released and the cycle continues until the baby is born and the positive feedback mechanism stops. |
| Explain how the positive feedback system works? (using blood clotting as an example) | Once a vessel is damaged, platelets start to cling to the injured site and release chemicals that attract more platelets. The platelets continue to pile up and release chemicals until a clot is formed. |
| What is a 'positive feedback loop'? and when is it typically found? | It is an escalating cycle of the increase of a stimulus, typically found when a potentially dangerous or stressful process must be completed quickly to restore homeostasis. Eg. a severe cut creating severe blood loss and a decrease in body temperature. |
