BIOS 252 Comprehensive Exam
Maintenance of stable internal condition involves
continuous monitoring and regulation
Homeostasis
Stimulus, receptor, input, control center, output,
effector
What are the feedback components?
produces change in variable
stimulus
detects change in environment
receptor
information sent along afferent pathway to control
center
input
processes the signal and sends instructions
control center
information sent along efferent pathway to effector
output
response of effector feeds back to reduce the effect of
stimulus and return variable to homeostasis
response
Causes a system to change further in the same
direction.
,positive feedback loop
labor and blood clotting
example of positive feedback loop
Causes a system to change in the opposite direction
from which it is moving
negative feedback loop
sweating to cool off
example of negative feedback loop
