GREYUIT [131]3 years ago

Answer:

A.  When body temperature increases, sweat is produced as a cooling agent to lower body temperature.

Explanation:

A negative feedback mechanism is one that works by reducing a given stimulus. This mechanism is directly linked to maintaining our body's balance (homeostasis) and hormone secretion.

Sweat acts as a negative feedback mechanism as follows: When the nervous system detects the change in temperature during exercise, for example, it understands this change and stimulates the release of sweat.

As we perspire, sweat gets on the skin and then evaporates, cooling the body.

In other words, this means that by detecting the increase in body temperature, the body caused it to decrease as <u>negative</u> <u>feedback</u> through the production of sweat.

Answer:

1. The physiological changes that will occur when someone lives at altitude for an extended period include increased production of more red blood cells.

2. The changes are advantageous as the person can survive lower altitude better and strenuous activities that interferes with breathing.

3. The specific physiological pathway that results in the changes described involves decrease in pulmonary ventilation at high altitude leading to hypoxia then hypoxemia. The body then produces more red blood cells to counteract the lower oxygen saturation in blood in high altitudes.
