Homeostasis feed back mechanisms
 

Homeostasis feed back mechanismsOnline version

Identify the type of feedback mechanism in each scenario. Write N for Negative Feedback and P for Positive Feedback.

by Malubay, Samantha Kirsten C.
1

Scenario: When you feel cold, your muscles start to tremble to generate heat. This response helps restore normal temperature.

Hints

Shivering decreases the deviation from the target temperature over time.

It aims to bring the system back to set point.

The response counteracts the initial change.

2

Scenario: During labor, contractions trigger hormones that make the contractions become stronger until the baby is born.

Hints

Often called a self-reinforcing loop in a process.

It continues until a final event occurs.

The response amplifies the original change.

3

Scenario: If a cut bleeds, platelets gather at the site and form a clot to stop the bleeding, which then triggers more clotting at the site.

Hints

Common example: rapid amplification at the injury site.

It ends when a stable clot seals the wound.

The process accelerates as more components participate.

4

Scenario: After a meal, rising blood sugar causes the pancreas to release insulin, which lowers blood sugar back toward normal.

Hints

Insulin helps glucose move into cells to reduce sugar levels.

It maintains stability by opposing the change.

The response reduces the initial disturbance.

5

Scenario: The fever response raises body temperature during infection, and mechanisms such as sweating and vasodilation work to bring it back down once the infection is controlled.

Hints

Fever is part of a broader regulatory response that eventually cools down.

It involves regulating temperature back toward a set point.

The body counteracts the change to return to normal conditions.
