Which of the following mechanisms could both be used by the body to increase body temperature if a person forgets a coat on a cold day? A. Superficial blood vessels dilate, and the thyroid decreases metabolism. B. Superficial blood vessels constrict, and the thyroid decreases metabolism. C. Superficial blood vessels dilate, and the thyroid increases metabolism. D. Superficial blood vessels constrict, and the thyroid increases metabolism.
Which of the following is an example of negative feedback?    A. High blood sugar will increase the viscosity of blood plasma (plasma is concentrated). In response, water is drawn into the plasma from surrounding tissues in order to dilute the plasma  B. Breathing rate increases during exercise to provide more oxygen to muscle cells. Heart rate also increase to increase the speed at which the oxygen is delivered.  C. During digestion cells in the stomach produce HCl to begin breaking down proteins, the HCl then stimulates the release of pepsin, to continue breaking down proteins.  D. In the immune system, antibodies produced by B-cells bind to antigens, which activates other B-cells to produce antibodies of the same kind.
which of the following scenarios can be classified as a negative feedback loop? a. increase in oxytocin caused by increased contractions b. increase in blood pressure to reduce heart rate c. increase in testosterone to help increase a fight or flight response d. increase in platelet production to help increase blood clotting
