Homeostasis • What is homeostasis? ___________________
• 2 mechanisms involved:
a) Autoregulation - intrinsic regulation, immediate and automatic response to environmental change.
ex. if blood flow falls, arterial resistance falls as the vessels dilate, which increases blood flow to supply the organ (myogenic and endothelial mechanisms).
b) Extrinsic regulation – nervous or endocrine systems activation, mostly controlled via negative feedback.
ex. if blood calcium is high, calcitonin (hormone) is released to decrease it within normal level.

Positive Feedback
• Negative feedback- Negates the stimulus; beneficial to maintain health
• Positive feedback- Enhances the change; Beneficial effects (ex. blood clotting); Harmful effects (ex. Fever)
Exercises: State the type of feedback mechanism involved:1. ___ hormonal regulation to lower blood sugar within normal level.2. ___ increasing uterine contraction for child’s birth.a. positive feedback b. negative feedback
