Q
  • Causes change opposite to the stimulation that was detected by sensory structures. I.e. an increase above desired level triggers mechanisms to decrease the level ,vise versa.
  • Maintains a physiological variable within acceptable limits by generating an oscillating pattern around the set point when changes are graphed over time
    (UP and DOWN, HIGH and LOWS)

Q
  • Causes change similar to the stimulus that activated the systems leads to continuous escalation or continuous decrease until the system reaches a crashing point
  • See in developmental changes (eg. Ovulation)
  • Response to dangerous or stressful situations
