Select the answer that best describes the axial skeletal structure.

Provides framework for muscles that anchor and stabilize the appendicular bones

Which of the following is not a characteristic of skeletal muscles?

Having one nucleus per cell Being attached to bone

is sometimes called autoregulation.

The impact of effector activity on sensors may be positive or negative. Therefore, homeostatic control mechanisms are categorized as

organs that are directly influenced by physiological variables or mechanisms.

Because negative feedback control systems oppose changes that are opposite in direction to the initial disturbance, they are

slowed or maintained in the homeostatic range.

Intrinsic control:	is sometimes called autoregulation.
The impact of effector activity on sensors may be positive or negative. Therefore, homeostatic control mechanisms are categorized as	organs that are directly influenced by physiological variables or mechanisms.
Because negative feedback control systems oppose changes that are opposite in direction to the initial disturbance, they are	slowed or maintained in the homeostatic range.
