- Q1What is the role of motor neurons in the nervous system's regulation of homeostasis?Filtering blood in the kidneysCarrying sensory information to the brainConnecting other neurons within the brain and spinal cordTransmitting signals from the brain to muscles or glands30sS10LT-IIIc-36
- Q2Which type of neuron is responsible for carrying impulses from the sensory organs to the brain?Mirror neuronsMotor neuronsInterneuronsSensory neurons30sS10LT-IIIc-36
- Q3How do negative feedback mechanisms contribute to the maintenance of homeostasis in the nervous system?By preventing any external stimuli from affecting the bodyBy reversing changes to return to a set pointBy only responding to positive changes in the environmentBy amplifying the changes away from the normal range30sS10LT-IIIc-36
- Q4How does the nervous system coordinate and regulate feedback mechanisms to maintain homeostasis?By releasing hormones into the digestive systemBy physically moving organs into the correct positionBy transmitting electrical signals to organsBy directly altering the temperature of the body30sS10LT-IIIc-36
- Q5Which component of the nervous system is primarily responsible for interpreting information and deciding how the body should respond?NeuronsThe spinal cordThe brainNerves30sS10LT-IIIc-36
- Q6What role does the hypothalamus play in the nervous system's regulation of homeostasis?Regulating body temperature and thirstGenerating electrical signals for movementCoding genetic informationDirectly controlling muscle contractions30sS10LT-IIIc-36
- Q7How does the nervous system react to a decrease in body temperature to maintain homeostasis?By initiating shivering to generate heatBy increasing sweatingBy slowing down the heartbeatBy decreasing the metabolic rate30sS10LT-IIIc-36
- Q8What is the role of feedback mechanisms in the nervous system's regulation of homeostasis?To ensure that the body does not adapt to new conditionsTo adjust bodily functions in response to changes in the environmentTo completely stop all bodily functions during extreme conditionsTo prevent the body from responding to any external stimuli30sS10LT-IIIc-36
- Q9In the context of the nervous system regulating homeostasis, what is the function of receptors?Conducting electrical signals to the brainDetecting changes in the environmentInitiating muscle contractions for movementProducing hormones for growth30sS10LT-IIIc-36
- Q10What is the primary function of the autonomic nervous system in maintaining homeostasis?Enhancing the body's immune response to infectionsFacilitating the growth of body cellsDirectly controlling voluntary muscle movementsControlling involuntary bodily functions such as heartbeat and digestion30sS10LT-IIIc-36
