Q

What is a setpoint in homeostasis? Does a response get generated as soon as you leave the set point?

A

set point is what the usual conditions are

you get a response when you fluctuate in and around the setpoint

Q

What is a stabilizing loop? What is this also known as? Describe what happens

Q

What is a reinforcing loop? aka? describe what happens:

A

positive feedback
stimulus goes back and reinforces response
can be influenced by outside factors to get inhibited

Q

Describe the steps of the cortisol release and negative feedback loop

A
  1. hypothalamus gets stimulus
  2. hyp releases CRH
  3. CRH bind to anterior pituitary
  4. AP releases ACTH
  5. ACTH goes to adrenal cortex
  6. adrenal cortex releases cortisol
  7. cortisol goes to target tissue
    when enough cortisol is made, it goes back and suppressed CRH and ACTH release
