Question | Answer |
---|---|
monosaccharides | simple sugars- small carbs- glucose |
disaccharides | double sugars-sucrose (table sugar)maltose & lactose |
polysaccharides | complex sugar- glycogen (animal starch) |
homeostasis | the relatively constant states maintained by the body |
sensor mechanisms | identifying the variable being controlled. Ex: Endocrine (hormone producing) act as homeostatic sensors |
integrator | receives information from a homeostatic sensor |
effector | organs, muscles that are directly influenced & are controlled by psychological variances. Ex: increases/ decreases in body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar. |
feedback | sensory receptors in the skin act as sensors by monitoring the body's temperature |
hypothalamus | the integrator compares the actual body temperature with the setpoint body temperature. |
internal environment | the healthy environment of the cells. (temperature, pressure, and the chemical composition being constant.) |
