Intro Flashcards
internal environment, aka its ability to RESIST CHANGE.
Homeostasis (Primary negative feedback)
Homeostasis
Temperature regulation and removal of waste examples
Sweating
Flushing
Shivering
Convection
Lungs (CO2)
Kidneys
GI Tract
Liver
The degree to which a control system maintains homeostasis
gain control
Which of the following statements is false?
A. The hypothalamus is the main organ that regulates homeostasis.
B. The body can correct a substrate (blood glucose for example) back to its original value.
C. The body cannot deviate too far from a certain point. Some errors beyond a certain point are not correctable (a blood glucose of 20g/dL for example)
B
Negative feedback examples
Control of body temperature
BG control (insulin & glucagon)
Respiratory (CO2)
Endocrine hormones
Positive feedback examples
Contractions (Oxytocin)
Blood clotting (platelets)
The anterior pituitary is stimulated to produce TSH, which in turn produces T3 and T4. T3 and T4 acts on TSH to stop production when it’s levels exceed a certain amount.
Which type of feedback mechanism best describes this?
Negative
