Homeostasis.
Does homeostasis work through negative or positive feedback?
Homeostasis works through negative feedback.
What is negative feedback?
Negative Feedback ;
Starts at normal range.
Goes beyond normal range.
Returns to normal range.
What systems control homeostasis?
Homeostasis in a human body is controlled by your brain (nervous system) and your endocrine system (hormones). `
What is an example of homeostasis?
Examples of Homeostasis ; Temperature Control. Blood Sugar Control. Heart Rate. Respiratory Rate. Blood Pressure. Water Balance. Detoxification.
