The state of dynamic equilibrium of the internal environment of the body is called what?
Homeostasis
When the effector opposes the stimulus (such as a dropping temperature) and reverses the direction of change (causing the temperature to rise) is called
Negative feedback
*Most system supporting homeostasis operate by negative feedback
When the effector reinforces the stimulus & amplifies the direction of change is called what
Positive feedback
*ex. Uterine contractions during childbirth, which triggers the release of the hormone oxytocin - Even greater contractions and further release of oxytocin
What detects change in homeostatic regulation?
Receptor
An area of the body that receives and processes information from the receptor is called
Control center
Sends signals (feedback) that either oppose or enhance the stimulus in homeostatic regulation
Effector
True or false - All 11 body systems work together
True
