Question
Upon entry of meal in the digestive system there is secretion of insulin increases to promote the cellular uptake and storage of ingested nutrients. Which of the following mechanism is responsible for this event:Select one:a. Negative feedbackb. Adaptivec. Feed forwardd. Positive feedbackClear my choice
Solution
The mechanism responsible for the increase in insulin secretion upon entry of a meal in the digestive system is c. Feed forward.
Feed forward mechanism is a type of metabolic control that prepares the body for future events. In this case, the body anticipates the increase in blood glucose levels that will occur after a meal, and secretes insulin in advance to promote the cellular uptake and storage of the ingested nutrients. This helps to prevent a sudden spike in blood glucose levels.
In contrast, negative feedback is a mechanism that counteracts changes in the body to maintain homeostasis, while positive feedback amplifies changes. Adaptive mechanism is a long-term change in response to a prolonged exposure to a stimulus.

You have been introduced to the general concepts of control theory. With this background, study each of the following statements. Which statement is INCORRECT?Question 12Select one:a.We avoid dangerous hypoglycaemia between meals because insulin follows the concept of proportional control and decreases in response to low blood glucose levels.b.Feedforward control occurs when an anticipatory neural signal is sent from the brain to the structures involved in regulating critical physiological variables.c.From a physiological perspective, we consider that a control/regulatory system has five key features: an input signal, receptors, a central integrator, an effector organ and a physiological outcome.d.In physiology, the word “control” is used to describe changes to effector organs that are specifically designed to result in the regulation of variables in a homeostatic range. e.Negative feedback occurs when the output signal enhances the original effect of the stimulus, whereby the direction of change is in the same direction as the initial change in the variable.
