Homeostasis.......... HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[KFChicken]

Each of the following is an example of homeostasis except one. Identify the exception.

a. Increased pressure in the aorta triggers mechanisms to lower blood pressure.

b. A rise in blood calcium levels triggers the release of a hormone that lowers blood calcium levels.

c. Increased blood sugar stimulates the release of a hormone from the pancreas which
stimulates the liver to store blood sugar.

d. A decrease in body temperature triggers a neural response which initiates physiological
changes to increase body temperature.

e. A rise in estrogen during the menstrual cycle increases the number of progesterone receptors in the uterus.

I choose E!!!! PLEASE VERIFY​

I believe it's D. Can't give you a good reason why though lol, sorry.

inc blood pressure = dec blood pressure
rise in blood calcium = lower blood calcium
inc sugar = store blood sugar
dec body temp = inc body temp
these r definitely hmeostasis cuz u r doing the opposite to maintain the original condition.

If estrogen inc, i say decrease or store estrogen to make it sound like homeostasis.
Thus I say E.

I agree with joonkimdds... E is true but I don't think it's homeostasis.

 

[heatwheat]

E is the only one that makes sense.

The answer is most definitely E. Homeostasis is basically the body keeping things steady, so you want to think of the body's normal state as the status quo. Anytime there's a change, there will be a response that counteracts the change, and A-D are examples of this. For answer choice E, an increase in the progesterone receptors would do nothing to lower the estrogen level, so the E is the correct answer because it is NOT an example of homeostasis.
