Describe and compare positive and negative feedback loops, give example of each.
Expert Solution

Step 1
Homeostasis is the capacity of the body to maintain the body at optimum levels. The optimum level is that suits the survival of the organism.
Any change from the optimum level serves as a stimulus, which is sensed by corresponding sensors. Control centers collect data from the sensors and send signals to the effector to change the value back to the optimum level.

- Select the 4 statements that correctly describe positive feedback pathways. A sensor/receptor is required to monitor and limit levels. A sensor/receptor is unnecessary to monitor and limit levels. Feedback prevents homeostasis. Feedback contributes to homeostasis. Feedback stimulates the effector to continue to do the same thing. Feedback stops the effector from doing one thing and stimulates it to do the opposite. When the target level for a hormone is reached, feedback results in a reduction of that hormone being released. When a target level for a hormone is reached, feedback results in an increase of that hormone being released.arrow_forwardDescribe what is meant by a trade-off in physiologicalfunctions, and give an example.arrow_forwardCompare the nervous and endocrine systems and explain how they work together to maintain homeostasis.arrow_forward
