this type of feedback loop brings you closer and closer to the target set point or homeostasis as time goes on |
|
|

theis type of feedback loop takes you further away from homeostasis or target set point as time goes on |
|
|
feedback |
information you get back, or is returned to you |
|

When the human body detects an imbalance, too much of something or not enough, sometimes a hormone is set off to help the body react and bring it back to homeostasis. This information helps the body stay balanced and is called a |
feedback loop |
|
|
Examples of the human body maintaining homeostasis would be |
perspiring to lower body temperature learning a new survival behavior immune system reacting to a vaccine |
|
|
Examples of negative feedback sysytems are |
regulating body temperature maintaining blood sugar levels regulating blood pressure |
|
|
Appetite being stimulated so you don't get too hungry, and eat on a regular basis is an example of a |
feedback system |
|
|
An apple ripening and giving off ethylene and causing all the other apples to ripen is an example of a |
