What is the difference between between homeostasis and equilibrium?
Generally speaking, in homeostasis, when there is an adverse or disrupting external stimulus
all variables are maintained within a narrow range simultaneously
all variables will be maintained in stable condition
the variable related to the stimulus will be altered to counteract the stimulus, often at the expense of other variables
the variable related to the stimulus will be altered without involving any other variables

- Which of the following statements is CORRECT in describing the positive feedback control systems in our body? Group of answer choices The response counteracts the stimulus, shutting off the response loop. The response reinforces the stimulus, sending the variable farther from the set-point. The response is able to move the variable closer to the set-point.

Oftentimes, this transfer of information across the synapse occurs via the release of neurotransmitters from the pre-synaptic terminal. When a large stimulus is detected in one neuron, it often conveys this information by releasing a larger amount of neurotransmitter into the synapse.arrow_forward
