NAU Bio 192 Exam 1
Integrator - The part of the body that can interpret information coming from the sensor, & send
messages out to the effector
Homeostasis - How living systems respond to stresses, like exercise, heat, or high altitude
Homeostasis - Describes the compensatory processes by which the body functioned to limit
variations in the internal environment
Homeostatically Regulated Parameters - Body Temp, BP, Blood glucose concentration, Blood gas
concentration
Set Point - the value you want to maintain
Negative Feedback Loop Tangible Components - Sensor, Integrator, and Effector
Sensor - The part of the body that can sense/detect the regulated variable
Effector - The part of the body that can affect/change the regulated variable
Conceptual Components of Negative Feedback Loop - Set Point, Threshold, Error Signal
Set Point - Temperature you want to maintain
Threshold - The difference where the integrator decides if the difference between the actual value
and set point is too large.
Error Signal - Deviation between the actual value of a variable and the set point value
, 37 Degrees Celsius - Set Point temperature in the body
Exercise increases what rates - Nutrient and oxygen use, waste production, and heat production
Steady State - A parameter is constant over a period of time.
What are the 3 parts of ATP - Adenine, Ribose, Triphosphate
Adenine - made up of carbon, hydrogen, & nitrogen atoms
Ribose - sugar molecule
Triphosphate - linked in a chain attached to ribose
Carbohydrates - Made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
Monosaccharide - simplest sugar; ex. glucose
Disaccharide - Sucrose; ex. sugar packet
Disaccharide - Combination of glucose and fructose
Disaccharide - Lactose; sugar in milk
Polysaccharide - 3 or more sugars
Starch - Plants storage form of carbohydrate polysaccharide
