ENDOCRINE ORGANS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The two types of feedback systems that help organisms maintain homeostasis are:
A
positive and negative
B
receptor and effector
C
static and dynamic
D
minor and major
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis typically involves negative feedback loops that counteract changes of various properties from their target values, known as set points. In contrast to negative feedback loops, positive feedback loops amplify their initiating stimuli, in other words, they move the system away from its starting state.

Detailed explanation-2: -Positive feedback occurs to increase the change or output: the result of a reaction is amplified to make it occur more quickly. Negative feedback occurs to reduce the change or output: the result of a reaction is reduced to bring the system back to a stable state.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homeostasis is generally maintained by a negative feedback loop that includes a stimulus, sensor, control centre, and effector . Negative feedback serves to reduce an excessive response and to keep a variable within the normal range. Negative feedback loops control body temperature and the blood glucose level.

Detailed explanation-4: -Positive feedback loops enhance or amplify changes; this tends to move a system away from its equilibrium state and make it more unstable. Negative feedbacks tend to dampen or buffer changes; this tends to hold a system to some equilibrium state making it more stable.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thermoregulation (if body temperature changes, mechanisms are induced to restore normal levels) Blood sugar regulation (insulin lowers blood glucose when levels are high; glucagon raises blood glucose when levels are low) More items
