Vanessa treated herself to one of those cool, new Peloton workout bikes this past Christmas.  Like most of us, she has some pounds to work off, now that the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be coming to an end.  As she completes here latest home workout and flops down on the couch, her blood pressure is too high for her new, lower activity state. In the space provided below, describe the steps of the negative feedback loop that her body will use to solve this problem and return her to homeostasis.  Make sure you focus on how the majority of her arterioles must change to solve this problem. You may list the generic steps and give a brief description, like this: 1) Stimulus – type your description 2) Sensor – type your description etc., etc., until you arrive at the desired Response Make sure to list all the generic steps of a feedback loop for this class AND describe the specific physiological details for each of those steps EXACTLY as if you were drawing a feedback loop diagram.  Provide as much physiological detail as possible at each step (e.g., effector cells, receptor types, signal molecules, the step-by-step “action” that fixes the problem, etc.).

Participatory research seeks to empower participants to take a leadership role in the research process.

In preparing for data collection, the researcher (interviewer) should be trained on technical skills in interviewing, appropriate behaviors to gain access to a population, as well as interpersonal skills and behaviors.

Transcription in qualitative data analysis should not record laughs, hesitations, or interruptions, as these are considered irrelevant to data collection.

The process whereby investigators check out their assumptions and emerging interpretations of the data with the original stakeholders who provided the information is defined as:

Ethnography is concerned with sampling a population with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Which of the following would not be a correct consideration in data analysis when using graphs for single-subject studies?

Which of the following is not a method for increasing survey response rates?

Historically, the most common method of collecting survey data was through mailed questionnaires.

Which quality assurance measures are specific to qualitative data analysis that go beyond those implemented for data collection?
