Summary Introduction
Summary:
Sweating occurs because of the heavy yard work on a hot day. During this condition, person becomes very thirsty and needs a glass of lemonade to drink. The mechanism of thirst relates to the concept of homeostasis. Illustrate the type of homeostasis mechanism.

When we begin to get dehydrated, we usually get thirsty, which causes us to drink fluids. Is thirst part of a negative or a positive feedback control system? Explain your choice.
When you step outside in the cold, your body temperature decreases; which causes shivering or contractions of your muscles. In this example, the shivering or contracting of the muscles, is what part of the feedback loop?
Positive feedback loops are the opposite of negative feedback loops. In a positive feedback loop, any change in the original variable triggers mechanisms that actually push the variable further in the direction of the change. Imagine that body temperature was regulated in this way. Briefly explain what would happen.
