Textbook Question

Match each numbered item with the most closely related lettered item. Use letters for answers in the spaces provided.
___ Homeostasis
a. Study of tissues
b. Constant internal environment
c. Face-up position

o. Face-down position

Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the concept of homeostasis. Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a stable internal environment within the body despite changes in external conditions.

Step 2: Review the provided options and identify the one that best matches the definition of homeostasis. Look for terms related to stability or regulation of internal conditions.

Step 3: Eliminate options that are unrelated to the concept of maintaining a constant internal environment. For example, terms like 'study of tissues' or 'face-up position' are not relevant to homeostasis.

Step 4: Focus on options that describe feedback mechanisms or stability. Negative feedback is a common mechanism used in homeostasis to counteract changes and maintain equilibrium.

Step 5: Match the term 'homeostasis' with the most appropriate option from the list, which is likely 'constant internal environment' (option b).

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Homeostasis

Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. This involves various physiological processes that regulate factors such as temperature, pH, and electrolyte balance, ensuring optimal functioning of cells and organs.

Negative Feedback

Negative feedback is a regulatory mechanism in which a change in a physiological variable triggers a response that counteracts the initial change. For example, if body temperature rises, mechanisms such as sweating are activated to cool the body down, thus restoring homeostasis.

Physiological Functions

Physiological functions encompass the various processes and activities that occur within living organisms to maintain life. This includes functions such as respiration, circulation, and digestion, which are essential for sustaining homeostasis and overall health.
