most internal process are regulated within a ________

A

predictable range (WNL)

46
Q

what does a set point establish?

A

parameters that are acceptable

47
Q

define negative feedback regulation

A

an increase/decrease in the variable being regulated brings about responses that tend to move the variable in the direction opposite the direction of original change

48
Q

define positive feedback regulation

A

self-amplifying cycle in which one change, leads to even more significant changes in the same direction

49
Q

Give examples of negative feedback loops

A

orthostatic hypotension, glucose homeostasis, thermoregulation,

50
Q

which feedback loop is a corrective loop?

A

negative feedback

51
Q

what is an example of a positive feedback loop?

A

parturition (birth), blood clotting

52
Q

what is physiologic reserve?

A

refers to excess physiologic capacity in organs and biological systems
