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
