1.5 Homeostasis Flashcards
Set Point
the physiological value around which the normal range fluctuates
the physiological value around which the normal range fluctuates
Set Point
Normal Range
the restricted set of values that is optimally healthy and stable
the restricted set of values that is optimally healthy and stable
Normal Range
Negative Feedback
a mechanism that reverses a deviation from the set point
a mechanism that reverses a deviation from the set point
Negative Feedback
Negative Feedback - Sensor (Receptor)
a component of a feedback system that monitors a physiological value
a component of a feedback system that monitors a physiological value
Negative Feedback - Sensor (Receptor)
Negative Feedback - Control Center
the component in a feedback system that compares the value to the normal range
the component in a feedback system that compares the value to the normal range
Negative Feedback - Control Center
Negative Feedback - Effector
the component in a feedback system that causes a change to reverse the situation and return the value to the normal range
the component in a feedback system that causes a change to reverse the situation and return the value to the normal range
Negative Feedback - Effector
Positive Feedback
intensifies a change in the body’s physiological condition rather than reversing it
intensifies a change in the body’s physiological condition rather than reversing it
