homeostasis Flashcards
homeostasis is established with
feedback loops
the majority of feedback loops are
negative
a negative feedback loop is when
1 side of the extreme tries to equal out in your body by going backwards
a positive feedback loop is when
your body tries to promote the direction of 1 extreme
the most common positive feedback loop is
contractions
an example of a negative feedback loop is your body does ? when your too hot
sweat
a positive feedback loop reinforces
what is taking your body out of homeostasis
a negative feedback loop tries to keep you in
homeostasis
a positive feedback loop tries to keep you out of
homeostasis
what is endotherm
having the ability to regulate homeostasis
what is ectotherm
not having the ability to regulate homeostasis internally
when you are an ectotherm what sets your temp
enviornment
an example of an ectotherm
snakes
what is hyperthermia
heat stroke
hyperthermia occurs when you over exhausted
your negative feedback loop
excessive heat can denauture
proteins
denature protein removese
function
what is hypothermia
core body temp drops extrememly
what stops functioning when you have hypothermia
enzymes
