The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis True true False false Single Diseases are the result of homeostatic balance brought about by altered or affected control systems for homeostasis True false False true Single Humans are warm-blooded or endothermic, and maintain a fairly constant body temperature of about 37°C (98.6°F) wherein the body tries to return to this value every time. True true False false Single When homeostatic mechanisms fail, cells may not get everything they need, or toxic wastes may accumulate in the body. If homeostasis is not restored, the will lead to homeostasis. True false False true Single Diabetes is a metabolic disorder caused by excess blood glucose levels True true False false Single We describe homeostasis as the relatively unstable state inside the body, with its organs and organ systems constantly adjusting to internal and external changes in order to maintain this unsteady state. True false False true Single When we are experiencing high temperatures, our muscle movements tend to decrease (to lower heat production), we sweat a lot to enable evaporative cooling, and our blood vessels dilate. True true False false Single When we are subjected to colder temperatures, our muscles shiver (to increase heat production) and our blood vessels constrict. Heat is mainly produced by the liver and heart contractions. True false False true Single Hyperthermia, a condition where an individual’s body temperature is elevated beyond normal, occurs and cellular proteins will denature, causing metabolism to stop and ultimately lead to death. True true False false Single When the blood glucose level is above the normal range, insulin is secreted, which triggers the uptake of glucose from the blood into body cells, True true False false Single
