Which one of these best defines homeostasis?
Which one of these best defines homeostasis?

Study Notes
Levels of Organization
- The correct order of the major levels of organization in the body, from simplest to most complex, is: cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis is the ability of the body to maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in the external environment
Positive Feedback Loop
- A positive feedback loop is a self-reinforcing cycle where the response to a stimulus enhances or amplifies the original stimulus, leading to an exponential increase in the response
Negative Feedback Loop Components
Receptor
- The receptor detects changes in the internal environment, monitoring factors such as temperature, pH, or blood glucose levels
Control Center
- The control center receives signals from the receptor and determines the appropriate response to restore homeostasis
Effector
- The effector carries out the response to restore homeostasis, bringing the internal environment back to a stable state
