Feedback Mechanism

Question 1

Physiological processes by which organisms maintain constant and balanced physical and chemical factors in their internal environment.

Answer 1

Homeostasis

Question 2

Physical Factors of Homeostasis

Answer 2

Temperature
Blood Pressure
Osmotic Pressure

Question 3

Chemical Factors of Homeostasis

Answer 3

pH
Concentrations of sugar and salt in the blood

Question 4

What are the two types of feedback mechanisms

Answer 4

Positive and Negative Feedback Mechanisms

Question 5

The purpose of this feedback loop is that it allows organisms to maintain a stable internal environment.

Answer 5

Negative Feedback Mechanism

Question 6

Negative Feedback Mechanism follows this general process

Answer 6

Increase/Decrease in stimuli > Reaction > Product > Homeostasis

Question 7

Positive Feedback Mechanism follows this general process

Answer 7

Stimuli > Reaction > Product > Increase/Decrease in product > Homeostasis

Question 8

This process is when any disruption to homeostatic balance in the body that can lead to diseases or disorders. Therefore, when homeostasis is disrupted, the body cannot function properly.

Answer 8

Homeostatic Imbalance

Question 9

What is the process to achieve homeostasis?

Answer 9

Receptors detect changes/receives stimulus > Stimulus is delivered to the brain (control center) > Correction mechanism is employed > Homeostasis is achieved
