Homeostasis is the process which regulates
-
Formation of food
-
External environment
-
Metabolism regulation
-
Internal environment
Homeostasis is the ability of an open system to regulate its internal environment to maintain stable conditions by means of multiple dynamic equilibrium adjustments controlled by interrelated regulation mechanisms. All living organisms, whether unicellular or multicellular exhibit homeostasis. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
The normal temperature of human body on the Kelvin scale is
-
280
-
290
-
300
-
310
Normal body temperature is 37 degree Celsius. To convert from Celsius to Kelvin add 273. So 37 + 273 = 310 degrees Kelvin.
Human temperature is set at
-
$47.5^0$C
-
$37^0$C
-
$37^0$F
-
$98.4^0$C
- In humans, the average internal temperature is 37.0 °C (98.6 °F).
- Hypothermia is a medical emergency that occurs when your body loses heat faster than it can produce heat, causing a dangerously low body temperature.
- Hypothermia occurs as your body temperature falls below 35.0 °C.
- Hence Human temperature is set at 37.0 °C.
- So, the correct answer is '37.0 °C'.
Mechanism for cooling of human body is
-
Sweating
-
Crying
-
Laughing
-
None of the above
- Sweating from sweat glands, often in response to heat, exercise or stress.
- Sweating is also called as Perspiration. is the production of fluids secreted by the sweat glands in the skin of mammals.
- In humans, sweating is primarily a means of thermoregulation, which is achieved by the water-rich secretion of the eccrine glands.
- Evaporation of sweat from the skin surface has a cooling effect due to evaporative cooling. Hence, Mechanism for cooling of the human body is Sweating.
Which of the following is not a type of tactile sensation
-
Heat
-
Touch
-
Vibration
-
Pressure
Tactile sensations are produced by the pressure receptors in the skin. The tactual sensation is related to touch.
The average temperature of human body is
-
30.5$^oC$
-
36.9$^oC$
-
98.6$^oF$
-
97.4$^oC$
The normal temperature of human body on the Kelvin scale is ............ K
-
280
-
290
-
300
-
310
Kelvin is the unit of measurement of temperature on an absolute scale. Kelvin temperature scale has an absolute zero below which temperatures do not exist. Absolute zero, is the temperature corresponds to a temperature of - 273.15° on the Celsius scale.The normal temperature of human body is 36.85$^0 $C.
Which one is correctly matched ?
-
Tears - Excretion of salts
-
Sweat - Thermoregulation
-
Saliva - Testing food
-
Satoish - Sexual attraction
- Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different.
- When the body becomes hotter than the normal temperature the sweat glands releases sweat which in turns cools the skin as it evaporates. This helps the lower internal temperature of the body.
- So, the correct answer is 'Sweat-Thermoregulation'.
Homeothermy in humans is maintained through
-
Negative feed-back loop
-
Thermoreceptors
-
Cold receptors
-
Warm receptors
Temperature of human body is maintained by
-
Perspiration
-
Conduction and convection
-
Radiation
-
All of the above
- Core temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus (in the brain), which is often called the body’s thermostat.
- The hypothalamus responds to various temperature receptors located throughout the body and makes physiological adjustments to maintain constant core temperature.
- The human body regulates temperature by keeping a tight balance between heat gain(conduction) and heat loss(convention). And in humans, perspiration (sweating) is primarily a means of thermoregulation. Hence, Temperature of the human body is maintained by Perspiration, Conduction and convection and Radiation. So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
Which of the following process keeps the body constant?
-
Transduction
-
Homeostasis
-
Feedback control
-
All of the above
Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to maintain a constant internal environment. Homeostasis is maintained by the hypothalamus with the help of negative feedback loops that counteract changes of many characteristics from their set points. For example, when there is a rise in body temperature a negative feedback loop will bring it back to normal towards the set point of 37.5$^o$ C. Hence homeostasis is necessary for the well-being of individual cells and of the entire body. Thus the correct answer is option B.
Temperature has been increased about 2 degree Celsius over
-
Poles
-
Temperate region
-
Taiga
-
All of above
What is the effect of shivering in raising the body temperature during cold weather?
-
Shivering dilates blood vessels
-
Shivering constricts blood vessels
-
Shivering increases the heart rate
-
Shivering stimulates rapid muscle action
-
Shivering tightens skin to cause goose bumps
Our body needs to maintain a 37°C to function properly. If it drops it could damage our organs or brain, so to stop this happening, our body strictly regulates temperature. Shivering is an involuntary pattern of repetitive, rhythmic muscle contractions. This twitching exercise produces heat, which helps to raise body temperature. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Temperature control centre is located in the
-
Hypophysis
-
Hypothalamus
-
Diencephalon
-
None of the above
Diencephalon consists of thalamus and hypothalamus. Thalamus serves as a relay station for sensory impulses as well as integration centre for recognition of pain, temperature and hard touch. The thermostat centre for temperature control is present in the hypothalamus. Hypothalamus maintains the constant human body temperature by regulation of the diameter of blood vessels (constriction or dilation), shivering and sweating mechanisms. The pituitary gland is also known as hypophysis. The pituitary gland is mainly concerned with growth and development of organism via its growth hormone and with the regulation of secretion of hormones by other endocrine glands via its tropic hormones. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
If the external temperature is low
-
Warm receptors are activated.
-
Warm receptors are inhibited.
-
Thermostat becomes operational ordering vasoconstriction of peripheral vessels and stimulation of skeletal muscles.
-
Thermostat becomes operational ordering vasoconstriction of peripheral vessels and activation of sweat glands.
Animals with built-in thermostat are
-
Biothermic
-
Oliogothermic
-
Poikilothermic
-
Homeothermic
- Homeothermy or homeothermy is thermoregulation that maintains a stable internal body temperature regardless of external influence.
- Hypothalamus is the built-in thermostat present in the homeothermic animal's body.
- The hypothalamus controls the body's responses to the outside temperature. When you get hot, you sweat.
- Hence Animals with built-in thermostat are Homeothermic.
- So, the correct answer is 'Homeothermic'.
