Reverses departure from homeostasis, bring variable back to normal
Examples of Negative Feed Back System
Blood pressure, hormone secretion, blood sugar levels, body water content, body pH levels
Slide example: you are hiking in the sun. You get Hot. Body temp rises causing your body to release a chemical causing you to sweat. Sweat evaporates on the skin and lowers your body temp.
Steps of Negative Feedback Loop
1. Normal Homeostasis distrubed
2. Receptors: Temp sensors in skin and Hypothalmus
3. Information affects the thermoregulatory center in the brain.
4. Sends commands to the Effectors causing sweat glands to secrete.
5. Normal temp restored. Homeostasis.

Homeostasis
the tendency toward internal balance.
Homeostatic Regulation
the adjustment of physiological systems to preserve homeostasis.
Autoregulation-
intrinsic regulation. When a cell, tissue, organ, or organ system adjusts its activities in response to environmental change
Exrinsic Regulation-
results from activities of the nervous and endocrine system. they adjust the activities of other systems simultaneously.
Three parts of a Homeostatic Regulatory System-
1. Receptor
2. Control Center
3. Effector
Homeostatic Regulatory System:
Receptor (1st step)
a sensor that is sensitive to a particular stimulus/environmental change.
Homeostatic Regulatory System:
Control Center (2nd step)
integration center. receives and processes the information received by the receptor, and sends out commands.
Homeostatic Regulatory System:
Effector (3rd step)
a cell or organ that responds to the commands of the control center and whos activity either opposes or enhances the stimulus.
Homeostatic Regulatory System:
Set Point
desired value of the body in the homeostatic regulatory system.
Negative Feedback
A variation outside the desired set point (range) triggers an automatic response that corrects the situation.
Negative feedback opposes
variations from normal.
Positive feedback exaggerates
variations from normal.
Negative feedback is the primary mechanism of
homeostatic regulation. it provides long term control over the body's internal conditions and systems.
State of Equalibirium
exists when opposing processes are in balance. example: in the body- rate of heat loss= rate of heat production.
Dynamic Equalibrium
each physiological system constantly functions to maintain a state of equalibrium that keeps vital conditions within normal range. ex- when muscles function, they produce more heat. more heat must be used, so you sweat.
