109) Give an example of an abnormality or problem at one level of organization, and explain how it
affects other levels of organization.
Answer: The levels of organization are dependent upon one another. Beginning with the
chemical level, if the incorrect atom is put into a protein, then the protein does not
function properly. Because this protein is ultimately part of a cell, or the cellʹs
extracellular matrix, the tissue will not work correctly. It is possible that the type of
tissue containing this protein is found in an organ, and possibly in many organs,
therefore affecting multiple organ systems. Cystic fibrosis is a great example of a
faulting protein that affects multiple organ systems.

favorable environment for the bodyʹs cells.

109) Give an example of an abnormality or problem at one level of organization, and explain how it
affects other levels of organization.
Answer: The levels of organization are dependent upon one another. Beginning with the
chemical level, if the incorrect atom is put into a protein, then the protein does not
function properly. Because this protein is ultimately part of a cell, or the cellʹs
extracellular matrix, the tissue will not work correctly. It is possible that the type of
tissue containing this protein is found in an organ, and possibly in many organs,
therefore affecting multiple organ systems. Cystic fibrosis is a great example of a
faulting protein that affects multiple organ systems.

Answer: Several strategies for success in this course include approaching the information in
different ways that may include creating your own diagrams, ʺteachingʺ fellow
students, and asking questions in class; having a set study schedule with a devoted
block of time; mastering memorization; avoiding shortcuts; regularly attending and
participating in all class sessions; reading assigned material prior to class; avoiding

114) What features are common to forearm movement at an elbow joint and the opening of a cell
membrane passageway? (Module 1.9C)
Answer: At both the gross anatomical and chemical levels, structure and function are
interrelated. The hinge-like movement at the elbow joint depends on the
three-dimensional shapes of the joint-forming ends of the humerus and ulna. The
opening of a membrane passageway depends on the proper three -dimensional shapes
of chemical messenger and the cellʹs membrane receptor molecule.

Answer: The bodyʹs four primary tissue types that form all body structures are epithelial,
connective, muscle, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue covers external and internal
surfaces and produces secretions; connective tissue fills internal spaces, provides
support, and stores energy; muscle tissue is specialized to contract and produce
movement; and nervous tissue transmits information.

protrudes through the skin), which could affect (1) the skeletal system (a broken bone),
(2) the integumentary system (disruption of skin integrity), (3) the muscular system
(broken bone tearing through a muscle), (4) the cardiovascular system (blood loss at the

123) Explain the function of negative feedback systems, and give an example of homeostatic
regulation by negative feedback in the body. (Module 1.18A)
Answer: Negative feedback systems maintain homeostasis (and provide long -term control over
the bodyʹs internal conditions and systems) by counteracting any stimulus that moves
conditions outside their normal range. An example of homeostatic regulation by
negative feedback in the body is temperature regulation. When temperature receptors in
the skin and brain detect a rise in body temperature, a negative feedback regulation is
initiated. The control centers in the brain receive this input and send commands to
effectors, causing skin blood vessels to dilate and sweat glands to secrete. The result is
that the body is cooled and homeostasis is achieved.

124) Why is positive feedback helpful in blood clotting but unsuitable for regulating body
temperature? (Module 1.18B)
Answer: Positive feedback is useful in processes that, once begun, must move quickly to
completion — for example, blood clotting. It is harmful in situations where stable
conditions must be maintained because it tends to exaggerate any departure from the
desired condition. Thus, positive feedback in the regulation of body temperature would
cause a slight fever to spiral out of control, with fatal results.

cushioning them from shocks that occur during activity and (2) allowing organs they
enclose to change size and shape without disrupting the activities of nearby organs.
