Define Homeostasis
Steady state of body systems that all living things maintain
Feedback loops
The path by which some of the output is returned to the input; Negative Feedback; Positive Feedback
What is Negative Feedback
Reverses a deviation from the set point; Maintains body parameters within their normal range
3 Parts of Negative Feedback
Sensor; Control; Effector
What does the sensor do
Monitors a physiological value and reports to the control center
What does the control center do
Related the value to the normal range and sends to effector

Define Homeostasis | Steady state of body systems that all living things maintain |
Feedback loops | The path by which some of the output is returned to the input; Negative Feedback; Positive Feedback |
What is Negative Feedback | Reverses a deviation from the set point; Maintains body parameters within their normal range |
3 Parts of Negative Feedback | Sensor; Control; Effector |
What does the sensor do | Monitors a physiological value and reports to the control center |
What does the control center do | Related the value to the normal range and sends to effector |
What does the effector do | Causes a change to reverse the situation and return value to normal range |
Example of Negative Effector | Fever |
What is Positive feedback | Inhances a change in the bodys physiological condition rather than reversing it |
Example of Positive Feedback | Child Birth |
Visceral Serous Membrane | Lines the Organs |
Parietal Serous Membrane | Lines the Walls of the body |
