124
Q

What is homeostasis?

A

Homeostasis is produced by the interaction of organ system and regulatory processes

125
Q

What two organ systems control homeostasis?

A

Nervous and endocrine

126
Q

Components of negative feedback system

Most of body functions

High to low

A 
Some stimulus disrupts homeostasis by
Increasing 
Blood pressure 
Baroreceptors in certain blood vessels
Input nerve impulses
To the brain 
Which sends nerve impulses to the heart
Which causes a decrease in heart which decreases blood pressure

Homeostasis is completed when the blood pressure goes back to normal

127
Q

Components of positive feedback system

Baby

Low to high

A

Contraction of wall of uterus force the baby’s head or body into the cervix
Increasing
By stretching the cervix
The stretch sensitive nerve cells in cervix
Input nerve impulses to the brain
Muscles in the wall of the uterus contract more forcefully
Which releases oxytocin
The baby’s body stretches cervix more

Increased stretching = oxytocin = stretching of cervix
