Guide questions:
1. Define homeostasis from the readings.
2. List some factors that show how homeostasis regulates
body processes.
3. What is negative feedback? How does this relate to
homeostasis?
4. How does positive feedback affects homeostasis?
Directions: Complete the paragraph below by writing the
correct word. Choose your answer from the box provided.
Use a separate sheet of paper for your answer.

The (1) ___________ system is the major control system

to maintain (2) __________. It provides monitoring,
response, and (3) ___________ of all systems in the human
body and other organisms. It functions from the tiny level
of individual cells to affecting the whole body. Constantly
monitoring conditions and watching for changes are done
by the (4) ____________ inside and outside of the body.
When a body system leaves a set point and falls outside its
(5) ___________ range, signals are sent through the
nervous system which trigger (6) _____________ to bring
the system back into the normal range of functioning. This
process maintains homeostasis. For example,
thermoreceptors and mechanoreceptors in the skin sense
changes in (7) ___________ and pressure, respectively.
Then, signals sent from them to the (8) ___________ make it
possible to detect situations that could cause injury or
death. Furthermore, nerves make muscles contract which
moves the (9) ___________ of the skeleton, making it
possible to evade predators. This ability to perceive the
environment and reacting to it is critical to maintain
homeostasis in the (10) _____________.

Options:
Nervous Regulation Receptors Responses
Endocrine Homeostasis Normal Brain
Body Temperature Bones
