Question 4

4
Which of the following statements regarding responsiveness, or irritability, is
FALSE?

Responsiveness, or irritability, is a necessary life function.

All body cells are irritable to some extent.
Because nerve cells are slightly irritable and communicate rapidly with each
other via hormones, the nervous system bears the major responsibility for
responsiveness.
You do not need to think about responsiveness, such as involuntarily pulling
your hand away from a painful stimulus.
None of the statements is false.

Question 16

16
Which of the following statements regarding homeostatic control mechanisms
is/are true?

The effector is usually a type of sensor that monitors and responds to

changes in the environment.
Information in homeostatic control mechanisms flows from the receptor to
the control center via the efferent pathway.
The control center determines the set point at which a variable is to be
maintained, analyzes the information it receives, and then determines the
appropriate response or course of action.
Information flows from the control center to the effector along the afferent
pathway.
A and B.
