- When human tissue, such as skin or a blood vessel, is torn or cut, the cells in the damaged region secrete a signal that activates specialized blood cells called platelets in the vicinity. As the platelets come in contact with one another, they begin to form a clot and release ad- ditional chemical signals to attract more platelets as well as other clotting factors until the bleeding is stopped. Which of the following correctly describes the feedback mechanism illustrated by the acti- vation of the platelets? A It is an example of positive feedback because the initial activation of the platelets causes the activation of additional platelets. B с D It is an example of negative feedback because the initial activation of the platelets is caused by a harmful stimulus.

- An organism’s circulatory system functions in transport, delivering nutrients to cell and removing waste. The structure and efficiency of circulatory systems varies in different organisms.note whether the statements below are consistent with an open or closed circulatory system. The circulating fluid flows in one direction (unidirectionally) through a circulatory loop. The circulating fluid is called hemolymph. Ostia are pores in the heart, important for circulatory function. The circulating fluid is called blood. The circulating fluid remains in vessels as it moves throughout the organism. Is the more efficient type of circulatory system.arrow_forwardCreate a simple blood pressure machine that uses a manual pump to inflate the cuff and a pressure gauge to measure the pressure.arrow_forwardEnumerate at least five factors that would influence the blood pressure of an invidual.
