Feedback

The integumentary system protects and helps regulate fluids.

Bones provide structure and mineral storage for homeostasis.

Muscles generate force and heat as byproduct.

The nervous system integrates information and coordinates responses.

Endocrine glands release hormones into internal fluids.

The cardiovascular system moves nutrients, wastes, and heat.

Lymphatic vessels remove excess fluid and pathogens.

The immune system protects against pathogens and disease.

The respiratory system regulates gases and voice production.

Digestive processes break down food and absorb nutrients.

The urinary system excretes wastes and balances fluids and pH.

Reproductive system transmits genetic information.

Skin and related structures regulate barriers and fluids.

The skeleton supports and protects; stores minerals.

Muscles enable movement and generate heat.

Nervous system senses and responds to changes.

Endocrine signals travel via internal fluids to targets.

Heart and vessels carry substances and heat.

Lymphatics remove excess fluid and clean it.

Genetic inheritance comes from reproductive organs.

Kidneys regulate pH and fluid balance.

A feedback control loop links sensors, integrators, and effectors to maintain stability.

Sensors identify the variable and detect deviations from the setpoint.

The integrator evaluates sensor input against the setpoint and decides responses.

Effectors (muscles or glands) enact actions to restore balance.

Negative feedback opposes the initial change to restore balance.

Positive feedback accelerates changes until a termination event occurs.

Shivering generates heat to oppose a drop in temperature.

Oxytocin release increases uterine contractions, amplifying the process.

Daily cycles adjust variables like hormones and temperature.

Afferent signals move toward the integration center.

Efferent signals travel from the center to effectors.

Setpoint is the target value the system aims to maintain.

Pyrogenic signals shift the setpoint upward to fight infection.

Muscles (shivering) and vasculature adjust heat loss or production.

Negative loops restore stability; positive loops escalate until stopping event.

Variables include temperature, blood glucose, etc., that can vary.

Disrupted signaling impairs regulation and stability.

Stretch triggers OT release, promoting stronger contractions.

Temperature or hormone setpoints can shift with infection or time of day.

Negative feedback keeps the internal environment constant.
