Negative Feedback Loop (Homeostasis)
Abnormal values trigger mechanism that return system to normal values…diminish the original stimulus
Keeps a variable close to its set point
Example: Increased Body Temperature
Positive Feedback Loops (Homeostasis)
-Self-amplifying cycle
-Change leads to continued movement in the same direction…drives the system out of balance
-Response enhances the original stimulus outcome
-Normal way of producing rapid changes (occurs with childbirth, blood clotting, protein, digestion, and generation of nerve signals)
-Often seen in pathology
Fever
-Temperature above 108 deg. (metabolic rate increases causing faster heat production)
-Temperature increases & cycle repeats again
