Q

Define Homeostasis

A
  • Body’s desire to keep dynamic equilibrium
  • involves intrinsic and extrinsic regulation
  • body always attempting to maintain set point
  • two feed back loops 1) negative feed back 2) positive feedback
  • receptor -> control center-> effector

Q

Intrinsic regulation

A

Q

Extrinsic Regulation

A
  • regulation of external environment that effect bodies homeostasis
  • involved nervous system and endocrine system
  • N.S. provides quick response that doesnt last long
  • endocrine provides slower response but creates a longer result
