Review Reviewing the Science • Cells that work in an integrated manner to perform a common set of functions constitute a tissue. Four main types of tissues are found in vertebrates: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. An organ is made up of more than one tissue type and forms a functional unit with a distinctive function, shape, and location in the body. An organ system is composed of two or more organs that work in a closely coordinated manner to perform a distinct set of functions. • Homeostasis is the process of monitoring the internal environment of an organism. Homeostatic pathways have two basic features: sensors that monitor the internal environment, and regulatory processes that attempt to restore the normal internal state when deviations from optimal conditions are detected. • Many homeostatic pathways are controlled by feedback loops. In negative feedback loops, the results of a process cause that process to slow down or stop. In positive feedback loops, the results of a process cause it to speed up. • Sexual reproduction involves the organs of the reproductive system and the union of male and female gametes (sperm and eggs). Most animals produce offspring in this way, although some can individually produce genetically identical offspring via asexual reproduction. • Oogenesis and spermatogenesis are the production of eggs and sperm, respectively. Fertilization fuses the haploid sperm and haploid egg to produce a diploid zygote. Males produce sperm in testes, and females produce eggs in ovaries. • Approximately monthly, one egg released from a woman’s ovary moves into the oviduct, where it can be fertilized. During sexual intercourse, the man’s penis releases into the woman’s vagina nearly 300 million sperm, only one of which can fertilize the egg.

• During the first trimester of human development in the uterus, cells of the embryo rapidly differentiate into the various organs and structures present at birth. From the ninth week of development on, the developing human is called a fetus. During the second and third trimesters, the fetus grows rapidly. • Childbirth occurs in stages. The hormone oxytocin signals uterine muscles to contract. The contractions become stronger as positive feedback increases the amount of oxytocin produced. 1 NAME: DUE DATE: April 11, 2022 MAXIMUM POINTS AVAILABLE: 40 No E-mail or photography submission will be accepted.

How much time elapses between the appearance of a precursor cell and the formation of an egg? 4 Ans: PART II: 0.5 point/ items 1 Select the correct terms: Homeostasis maintains a constant internal state through (homeopathic / homeostatic) pathways that trigger regulatory processes when there is movement away from the body’s (set point / initiator). For example, body temperature homeostasis is maintained through a (negative / positive) feedback loop—a process known as (thermoregulation / osmoregulation). 2 Place the following events of the human menstrual cycle, beginning with the final day of bleeding, in the correct order by numbering them from 1 to 5. ___a. 0.5 point/matching The corpus luteum produces progesterone for about 14 days. ____b. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulates the growth of egg follicles. ___c. The egg is released from the follicle (now corpus luteum). ___d. The uterine lining sloughs off (menstruation occurs) with decreased progesterone. ____e. Estrogen levels increase and trigger luteinizing hormone (LH). 3. Link each term with the correct definition. Spermatogenesis 1. Cells from only one parent produce offspring. Oogenesis 1 point/link 2. The process of producing sperm. Sexual Reproduction 3. The process of producing eggs (ova). Asexual Reproduction 4. Gametes from two parents combine to produce offspring. MULTIPLE CHOICES: 0.5 point / choice 1.
The most immediate reason(s) why homeostasis is important in the human body is that: a) cells cannot divide properly when the environment changes, preventing growth. b) the DNA in a cell’s nucleus is damaged easily by environmental change. 5 c) enzymes inside and outside cells cease to perform essential metabolic functions if the body is out of balance. d) the rate of transport across membranes is altered by changes in a cell’s environment. e) Both the third and fourth choices are correct. 2. A hiker climbing Mount Washington in New Hampshire encounters fog and rainy conditions, and her clothes become completely soaked. Within a couple hours, she is stumbling and has trouble understanding which way to go at a fork in the trail. What is the likely condition from which this hiker is suffering? a) hyperthermia, because she had on too many layers of clothing so she could not cool off by sweating b) hypothermia, because she lost too much body heat to the environment c) homeostasis, because her body shut off blood to her brain d) hypoxia (low blood oxygen), because the higher altitudes on Mt. Washington carry less oxygen in the air e) hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), because she wasn’t eating enough carbohydrates compared to what her body was using 3.
Which of the following explains why complex multicellular organisms face a major challenge in maintaining homeostasis? a) Most of the body cells are not in direct contact with the external environment. b) There are more chemical reactions per cell that require energy and nutrients. c) Most of the body cells are protected from harsh or changing environmental conditions. d) Nutrients and waste materials enter or leave the cells too quickly. e) There is less extracellular fluid from which to gather nutrients.

4. If the “set point” for a physiological variable is a relatively high value: a) negative feedback will tend to lower the set point. b) there is no need for a sensor for that variable. c) the organism with this high set point is considered a conformer for that variable. d) positive feedback will tend to increase the set point. e) the body will work to maintain the high value. 5. What animal body structures are mainly involved in osmoregulation? a) digestive tract b) bladder c) kidneys d) Malpighian tubules e) Both the third and fourth choices ar
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS
Discussion Questions (DQ)
Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation
Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality
Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
Use of Direct Quotes
I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
LopesWrite Policy
For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy
The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication
Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours. Homeostasis Reproduction and Development.
