Answer: The correct answer is-

C. Insulin secretion in response to high blood sugar.

D. Increased heart rate in response to exercise.

F. Proton pumping to maintain a proper pH level.

Homeostasis can be described as a tendency of living organisms to maintain a state of stable internal environment. In other words, it is the tendency to resist any change in the optimal conditions for survival.

It is brought by several regulatory mechanisms in the body such as regulation of body temperature, regulation of pH, regulation of osmolarity etc.

  • Whenever there is high blood sugar level, insulin hormone is secreted from pancreas that reduces the blood sugar level.
  • Heart rate is increased in response to exercise so that more oxygen is transported through blood circulation and more amount of energy is harvested through cellular respiration in the form of ATP ( required in exercise).
  • Pumping of proton maintains a proper pH level ( such as in lysosomes, where pH is highly acidic, high proton concentration is regulated through proton pumping).

Thus, option C), D), and F) are the examples of feedback mechanisms  that help in maintaining homeostasis.

A nurse is meeting with a woman scheduled to have a modified radical mastectomy to remove an aggressive breast tumor. The woman
Archy [21]

Answer:

d) "Tell me more about your fears and concerns."

Explanation:

Statement a) implies the nurse would be imposing her choice on the patient, instead of considering the patient’s concerns and assisting her in deciding a better treatment procedure to undertake.

Statement b) cannot be the best response from the nurse because, the suggested less invasive surgical operation procedure is limited in scope and may not adequately get all the affected tissues removed. The stage of the cancer and how severe it is should inform the type of treatment the patient can be advised to undergo. A combination of treatments might also be needed depending on the stage and nature of the cancer to be treated.

Statement d) is a better response compared to c) and b) and a). Getting to know the fears and concerns of the patient would help enable the nurse to ascertain if the patient has full knowledge about the scheduled procedure as well as address, adequately, the areas that needs further clarification and remove all fears and doubts the patient is having towards the procedure she has decided to undergo.

Once the body has begun shivering, what happens to make it stop shivering?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

One hint is that, if a message is being sent, the "sender" is probably the nervous systems. There are several subsystems to the nervous system, but it regulates and controls virtually all bodily functions. The nervous system monitors your body's temperature, and takes actions to regulate it, such as telling your muscular system to shiver to generate more heat. It sends this message to the muscular system because your muscles cause bodily movement, such as walking, lifting weights, and even shivering. 

When your nervous system determines that your body temperature has returned to normal, it again sends a message to your muscular system to stop shivering.

The myocardium receives its blood supply from the coronary arteries. True or False
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

The myocardium is the muscle tissue of the heart, a muscle responsible for pumping blood through the circulatory system through contraction. It receives a part of the large volume of blood that passes through the atria and ventricles. A system of arteries and veins (coronary circulation) provides the myocardium with oxygen-rich blood and allows the return of venous or oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium. The right coronary artery and the left coronary artery are the branches of the aorta responsible for the blood supply.
