Feedvack Mechanism Flashcards
process where the output of a system influences its own operation, either reinforcing the initial change (positive feedback) or counteracting it (negative feedback) to maintain a stable internal environment or homeostasis
Feedback Mechanism
this type of feedback loop aims to reduce or reverse a change in the system, bringing it back towards a stable state or “set point”
Negative Feedback
In this type of feedback, the initial change is amplified or intensified, moving the system further away from its original state
Positive Feedback
-helps organisms keep their internal conditions steady
-includes things like body temperature, water balance, and glucose levels
-maintained through feedback mechanisms, which help make adjustments when things go off balance
Homeostasis
