What are the 3 components of Homeostatic Mechanisms and what happens in each of them?
1.Receptors(A change occurs in the internal environment)
2.Set point(The change is compared to the set point)
3.Effectors(The change is corrected
What is the difference between positive and negative feedback?
1.Positive feedback moves conditions away from set point
2. Negative feedback moves conditions back to set point
