Q

Positive feedback chain

A

Tends to amplify or reinforce the change that is occurring by creating a response that is synonymous to the initial disturbance. (Doesn’t help the body to be stable or maintain homeostasis)

Negative feedback loop

A

Loop that opposes or “negates” a change by creating a response that is opposite in direction to the initial disturbance

True

24
Q

Homeostasis

A

Standing or staying the same (may vary, but is relatively consistent)
- intracellular control - mechanism that operates at the mechanical level (inside)
- intrinsic control - mechanism that operates at the tissue and organ level (inside)
- extrinsic control - mechanism that operates at the organism level
