Discussion:
Positive Feedback, Negative Feedback and Homeostasis With Examples
The body uses two different feedback systems to help maintain homeostasis. One is used to strengthen a system while the other reduces the output of the system. Briefly describe the two feedback system, choose two body systems and discuss how these body systems are able to maintain homeostasis. Address the following questions:
1. How do these systems maintain homeostasis?
2. What happens when the balance is 'off'?
3. What do these body systems do to re-equilibrate?
4. Do these two systems complement each other by working together?
If they do complement each other, how do they work together?
If they are not complementary, how do they work independently?
