Homeostasis Flashcards
The tendency to resist change in order to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment
homeostasis
This is involved is homeostasis that counteract the changes of various properties from their target values
negative feedback loop
This amplify their initiating stimuli or they move the system away from its starting state
positive feedback loop
this depends on the ability of the body to detect and oppose changes
homeostasis
This loop act to oppose the stimulus/cue that triggers them
negative feedback loop
if the body temperature is high, this loop will act to bring it back down towards the target value (normal body temp of 36)
negative feedback loop
another term for target value
set point
what are needed for negative feedback loop to happen
sensors
control center
effectors
stimulus
example of a disrupted homeostasis caused by a broken feedback loop involving insulin
diabetes
what loop does insulin do
negative feedback loop
what process does glucagon do
positive feedback loop
this loop amplify changes and move the system away from equilibrium
