|
homeostatic control
variable, receptor, control center, effector |
variable is the factor being changed, receptor senses the changes. stimuli then responds by sending out information called (INPUT) to the control center. Control center then determines the set point and analyzes the input it receives and responds appropriately by sending information called (OUTPUT) to the effector. Effector gives feedback according to the output it receives... Neg or Pos.
|
|
Negative Feedback
|
output shuts off or reduces stimuli RETURNING balance (it's goal is to prevent sudden changes)
|
|
Positive Feedback
|
it moves in the same direction as the stimuli ENHANCING the changes. example- labor or blod clotting
