3. This is an organ located within the skull that functions as organizer and
distributor of information for the body.
7. This serves as a channel for signals between the brain and the rest of the body,
and controls simple musculoskeletal reflexes without input from the brain. Act
like cable wires that transmit signals across our body.
4. The large, upper part of the brain that controls activity, thought, senses,
emotions and learning.
5. The part of your brain that controls posture, balance and coordination.

6. The part that connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic
functions such as breathing, digestion, heart rate, blood pressure and sleep.
13. It maintains body functions and restores the body to normal or relaxed mode
when the threat has been resolved (like slowing the heart rate, lowering BP)

9. The nerves that carry motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the
spinal cord and the body
12. It is activated when the body is in a dynamic role or stress (e.g. increased
heart rate and breathing, dilation of pupil, sweating, having goosebumps, etc.)
allowing the body to access energy reserves to either fight off the threat or to
run away to safety (Fight-or-flight response)
8. Primarily sense the external environment (through senses) and controls
voluntary muscle activities. It has two main parts.

10. The nerve fibers that carry information related to the eyes, mouth, ears,
neck, and shoulders into and out of the brain stem instead of the spinal cord.
11. It has two divisions and relays between the CNS and internal organs and
glands. Primarily senses and monitors the conditions of the internal
environment and controls involuntary activities.

Write P if it is a Positive Feedback Loop or N if it is a Negative Feedback Loop
_______ 1. The most used feedback loop in the body.
_______ 2. The system’s output acts to reduce the process to lessen the output bringing the system back to its normal
level.
_______ 3. Is a type of feedback in which the output or responses are enhanced or accelerated by an activated
Stimulus which to an increase in levels of reaction out of normal ranges.
_______ 4. Thermoregulation is one of its examples.
_______ 5. It eliminates or remove the stimulus. It is not turned off until the stimulus is completely removed.
_______ 6. This can be life-threatening if it gets out of control.
_______ 7. This has a destabilizing effect; it does not result in homeostasis but maybe necessary for life to occur.
_______ 8. When you are cold, the brain triggers a command to the muscles to shiver.
_______ 9. Blood sugar regulation and blood pressure regulation are its examples.
_______ 10. Blood clotting, lactation or milk production and ovulation.
_______ 11. During childbirth, the brain stimulates the posterior pituitary gland to release more OXYTOCIN HORMONE
Until the contractions will be powerful enough to cause childbirth.
