| Extrinsic regulation | From nervous system or endocrine system controls activites of many other systems simultaneously |
| Homeostasis Mechanism | 1)Receptor 2) Control center 3)Effector |
| Receptor | *sensor *sensitive to particular stimulus |
| Control center | *receives and processes the signal *sends out command |
| Effector | responds to command * opposes or enhances stimulus |
| Role of negative feedback | Response of the effector negates the stimulus * Body is brought back into homeostasis * Normal range is achieved Primary mechanism of homeostasis |
| Role of positive feedback | The response of the effector increases change of the stimulus *Body is moved away from homeostasis *Normal range is lost * used to speed up processes |
| System Integration | systems work together to maintain homeostasis *opposing forces are in balance *heat loss=Heat production |
| Dynamic equilibrium | continual adaptation-physiological systems work to restore balance-failure results in disease or death |
