When glucose levels in the blood rise, your brain sends a signal to your pancreas. The pancreas releases insulin, which opens channels in cell membranes to allow glucose to enter the cell, lowering blood sugar levels. 

• Positive Feedback Response

• Negative Feedback Loop

Homeostasis is

• The process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal environment

• The process by which organisms change their internal environment

• The process by which organisms adapt to their external environment

• The process by which organisms evolve over time

A Negative Feedback Loop is...

• A process that reinforces a system's output

• A process that counteracts a system's output

• A process that has no effect on a system's output

• A process that amplifies a system's output

During Homeostasis...

• The sensor sends a message to the effector

• The effector sends a message to the control center

• The sensor sends a message to the control center

• The control center sends a message to the sensor

Negative feedback loops

• Have negative effects on the body

• Hurt the body

• Help the body

• Correct an imbalance in the opposite direction

Positive feedback loops

• Are good things

• Always heal the body

• Increase a change in the body

• Are bad

In homeostasis the control center

• Sends a message to the effector

• Sends a message to the sensor

• Causes a change to the environment

• Always causes a positive feedback loop
