Which one of the following does the Letter “B” in the shape represents   1. Information about body temperature is sent through afferent pathways to the brain 2. Free nerve endings in the skin detect changes in skin temperature (getting colder) 3. Appropriate response information is sent through efferent pathways 4. A change in the temperature of the external environment (getting colder) 5. Skeletal muscles respond with shivering reflex which provides heat to return the body’s temperature to a homeostatic balance or “ideal” value

Dr. Song discovered circuit proteins responsible for negative feedback loop for HPT-axis and switched to positive feedback control loop instead. Describe what would happen to thyrotropin releasing hormone, thyrotropin, and thyroxine when thyroxine level is lower than the normal level (lower than the set point). 

Lea and Jack are preparing for the anatomy exam. Lea told Jack that elastic cartilage tissue is found in the walls of the large arteries that leave the heart. Is this true or not?

Ball and socket joints exhibit which type of movement?

To treat hyperthyroidism, methimazole, an inhibitor to the enzyme for thyroid synthesis, was prescribed, and the thyroxine level was decreased. Along with methimazole, metoprolol was prescribed, which is a b1 adrenergic receptor blocker. Explain which nervous system would be affected and why.
