17
Q

What is the meaning of homeostasis?

A

Physiologically, keeping the body’s environment in a state of equilibrium within ‘normal limits’

18
Q

What is the meaning of negative feedback?

A

Negative feedback brings a system back to its level of normal functioning

19
Q

How does the negative feedback loop work?

A

Regulated variables maintained within their acceptable range by physiological control mechanisms

20
Q

How does the regulation of homeostasis work?

A

Oscillations around a set point
Detectors have a threshold

21
Q

What is the meaning of positive feedback loop?

A

Enhances or accelerates output created by an activated stimulus

22
Q

How does positive feed back loop work?

A

Reinforces a change in a controlled condition
Continues until interupted

23
Q

What is the meaning of afferent?

A

Towards the centre

24
Q

What is the meaning of efferent?

A

Away from the centre

25
Q

What is the integration centre?
