Study Notes
Homeostasis Regulation
- Homeostasis is a control mechanism in the body, similar to feedback control in engineering.
- In homeostasis, a sample of what is being produced is used as a signal to control the production to a desired level.
- The system takes a sample of the production to regulate it.
Feedback Types
- There are two types of feedback in homeostasis regulation: positive and negative feedback.
- Negative Feedback: When an increase in the amount fed back decreases the production, and a decrease in the sample increases the production.
