29. Essay: During exercise, blood flow to skelet...
Question During exercise, blood flow to skeletal muscles increases. The initial response that increases blood flow is automatic and independent of the nervous and endocrine systems. Which type of homeostatic regulation is this? Why?
Answer The initial increase in blood flow to active muscles is an example of autoregulation. For example, when oxygen levels decline in a tissue, the cells release chemicals that dilate local blood vessels. This dilation increases the rate of blood flow and provides more oxygen to the region even before responses from the nervous or endocrine system take place. Autoregulation does not require the nervous or endocrine system.

Answer
Correct Feedback Correct!
Incorrect Feedback Remember that there is a range of tolerance here for normal functioning.
set points are generally found within a set range. This allows for minor oscillations around the set point; these minor oscillations are usually ignored
set points are rigidly adhered to, and when slight deviations occur, the body launches an “all-out effort” to bring the system back to the norm
set points are generally found within a set range. Nevertheless, minor oscillations can raise havoc within the system
set points are highly variable and internal reactions to set points cannot be predicted with any accuracy at all
