51)What is the goal of all of the negative feedback mechanisms of the body?51)Answer:The goal is to prevent sudden severe changes within the body.Explanation:Figure 1.2Using Figure 1.2, match the following regions:52)Response.52)Answer:EExplanation:53)Why is anatomical terminology necessary?53)Answer:Anatomical terms are precise words that have limited usage, which preventsconfusion when describing the location of body parts.Explanation:54)The higher we go in the mountains, the greater the atmospheric pressure, resulting in anincrease in available oxygen. Comment on this statement.54)Answer:At high altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is less than at lower levels resulting in adecrease in oxygen levels. The lower oxygen levels may be inadequate to supportcellular metabolism.Explanation:55)Why must a normal body temperature be maintained in order for chemical reactions to becontinued at life-sustaining rates?55)Answer:If body temperature is too low, chemical reactions slow and eventually stop. If bodytemperature is too high, chemical reactions speed up and body proteins lose theirnormal shape, resulting in loss of function.Explanation:11
