Question

Which of the following is an example of an organism being in homeostasis? Select all the correct answers. There may be more than one true statement

I tried all of the above and it was incorrect

A child experiencing a fever seizure that is sweating because his core body temperature is higher than its setpoint temperature An ASU student sweating on the way to class because her core body temperature is higher than her setpoint temperature A dog shivering in cold weather to increase body temperature, but that currently has a core body temperature that is lower than the setpoint temperature A rabbit with a fever that is shivering because its core body temperature is lower than its setpoint temperature A mouse with a fever that has an elevated core body temperature that is equal to its hypothalamic setpoint temperature A hoary marmot in torpor that has a decreased core body temperature that is equal to its decreased hypothalamic setpoint temperature

Explanation / Answer

Homeostasis: is an internal regulation of the body environment to maintain the balance state. It is very essential for to maintain the internal organization and their functions for sustainable life.

For example temperature of the body, pH of the intra cellular fluid and extracellular fluid etc..

The correct stamens are:

Child experiencing a fever seizure that is sweating because his core body temperature is higher than its set point temperature.

An ASU student sweating on the way to class because her core body temperature is higher than her set point temperature.

A dog shivering in cold weather to increase body temperature, but that currently has a core body temperature that is lower than the set point temperature.

A rabbit with a fever that is shivering because its core body temperature is lower than its set point temperature.

(Because at the time of fever body temperature is very high, at this time body need to minimize this temperature so that, sudorific glands secretes sweet which remove the excess temperature).   

In cold condition animals are rapidly contract and relaxing their muscle to excess heat by respiration.

Wrong stamens are:

A mouse with a fever that has an elevated core body temperature that is equal to its hypothalamic setpoint temperature.

A hoary marmot in torpor that has a decreased core body temperature that is equal to its decreased hypothalamic set point temperature.

(Note: at the time of fever elevated core temperature is not equal to set point temperature.

If the body temperature is too high negative feedback regulation will act to bring the set point temperature (optimum temperature).
