a.
One of the descriptions below is from the perspective of anatomical study, the rest are from a physiological perspective. Select the description below that comes from an anatomical perspective. a. The extremely thin tissue (simple squamous epithelium) of the lungs allows for the quick diffusion of respiratory gases into and out of the body. b. The innermost lining of the lungs is composed primarily of a thin tissue called simple squamous epithelium. c. The cell-to-cell connections between heart (cardiac) muscle cells are strong. They hold the tissue together for a life time of forceful contractions. d. The direction of blood flow through the heart is directed by one way valves.

PF
T/F Lungs carry out an excretory function.
T
T/F Positive feedback mechanisms tend to enhance the original stimulus so that the response is accelerated.
T
T/F Responsiveness or irritability is the ability to sense changes in the environment and then respond to them
T
T/F Without some sort of negative feedback mechanism, it would be impossible to keep our body chemistry in balance.

Positive feedback differs from negative feedback because ________. positive feedback is generally beneficial while negative feedback is typically harmful positive feedback tends to enhance the triggering stimulus while negative feedback tends to return the body to a homeostatic balance or "ideal" level positive feedback is critical to health while negative feedback serves only to alert us to potential health threats positive feedback provides moment-to-moment wellbeing while negative feedback causes a cascade effect
positive feedback tends to enhance the triggering stimulus while negative feedback tends to return the body to a homeostatic balance or "ideal" level
