Maintaining

Homeostasis Through
Feedback Mechanisms
MELC: Describe how the nervous system coordinates and
regulates these feedback mechanisms to maintain homeostasis
(S10LT-lllc-36)

LT: Attend synchronous class for synchronous students.


For asynchronous students, watch the recording of the online
class.
For modular students, wait for a phone call from your teacher to
follow you up on your learning.

Receptor: (or sensor) receives information and sends this to the
control center.

Control center: (or evaluator) processes receptor information and


stimulates the effector.

Effector: carries out a stimulatory or inhibitory effect according to


control center instructions.

Signals can be sent via nerve pathways (action potentials and


neurotransmitters) or via chemical signals (most commonly,
hormones).

A positive feedback loop


occurs in nature when the
product of a reaction leads to an
increase in that reaction. It does
this by amplifying the effects of
a product or event and occurs
when something needs to
happen quickly.
