Acclimation correct answers short-term adaptation to environmental stressor (days/weeks) Acclimatization correct answers long-term adaptation to environmental stressor (months/years) Conversions for temp correct answers - ºC = (ºF - 32) / 1.8 - ºF = (ºC x 1.8) + 32 Conduction (K) correct answers the movement of heat from one solid to another one that has different temperature when they are touching each other. For example, we can warm our hands by touching hot-water bottles. C...

anatomy correct answer: is morphology physiology correct answer: is function homeostasis correct answer: maintenance of a stable internal environment negative feedback correct answer: most common system as conditions deviate from set point, effectors are activated as conditions get closer to normal, signal to effectors gradually decreases postive feedback correct answer: rare, but occurs organization of human body correct answer: atom-molecule- macromolecule- organelle- ce...

List the functions of the Nervous System Correct Answer-Receptors detect changes in the internal or external environment. Information is sent to the CNS by the sensory division of the PNS. Information processing Motor commands are carried by the motor division of the PNS. Effectors respond to those commands and change their activities. What makes up the Central Nervous System? Correct Answer-Brain & Spinal cord What makes up the Peripheral Nervous System? Correct Answer-All neural tis...

Difficult in pronouncing words. mouth muscles are weak or do not move. may also have respiratory problems. found in stroke and cancer patients. APRAXIA - CORRECT ANSWER-Oral motor muscles loose function, unable to speak with meaningfull utterances. DISORDER OF MOTOR PLANNING. LOSS OF LEARNED PURPOSEFUL MOVEMENTS. APHASI...

ASU BIO 340 Exam 3 | WITH QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100% VERIFIED What will be the effect on transcription when an inhibitor is in play? A. Allow transcription B. Prevent transcription - B Explanation: An inhibitor prevents activator from binding to DNA; activators are used in positive regulation (increasing transcription) - thus, the inhibitor prevents the activator from positive regulating (increasing) transcription. What will be the effect on transcription when an inducer is in play? A. A...

anatomy - study of the structure/morphology of the body and parts Physiology - the study of the functions of the human body and parts negative feedback - Most common type of homeostatic mechanism. Effectors return conditions toward normal range, and the deviation point lessens. Ex. BP, temperature positive feedback - Uncommon, the deviation from the body's setpoint is intensified to speed along a bodily process. Ex. blood clotting, childbirth. organic molecules - Molecules that contain BO...
