27
Q

Homeostasis is:

A

The body’s ability to to detect change, activate mechanisms that oppose it, and thereby maintain relatively stable internal conditions.

28
Q

The main mechanism that maintains homeostasis is:

A

Negative feedback.

29
Q

Negative feedback helps the body to maintain:

A

Normalcy and homeostasis.

30
Q

Positive feedback is:

A

The mechanism that keeps the body going in one direction or on the same track whether good or bad.

31
Q

In negative feedback, the receptor is:

A

An indicator that sends a signal to the body’s control center.

32
Q

In negative feedback, the control center is:

A

The hypothalamus region of the brain and the mechanism that signals the change in the body.

33
Q

In negative feedback, the effector is:

A

The change that is signaled by the control center.

34
Q

Positive feedback leads to a:

A

Greater change in the same direction repeated over and over.

35
Q

Examples of positive feedback include:

A

Birth(hormones signal contractions), blood clotting(more proteins show up at the site), fever, and protein digestion(digestive enzymes are continuously made).
