Feedback control loop homeostasis

Homeostasis is often achieved in the body through the use of feedback loops that regulate the body's internal circumstances. A feedback loop is a system that uses an identified receptor (sensor), the control center (integrator or comparator), effectors, and communication means to control the level of a variable.

What is an example of a homeostatic feedback loop?

Examples of processes that utilise negative feedback loops include homeostatic systems, such as: Thermoregulation (if body temperature changes, mechanisms are induced to restore normal levels) Blood sugar regulation (insulin lowers blood glucose when levels are high ; glucagon raises blood glucose when levels are low)

What are the 4 components of a homeostasis feedback loop?

Homeostasis is normally maintained in the human body by an extremely complex balancing act. Regardless of the variable being kept within its normal range, maintaining homeostasis requires at least four interacting components: stimulus, sensor, control center, and effector.

What are the four 4 stages of the feedback loop?

Each feedback loop has a minimum of four stages. During the first stage, input is created. During the second stage, input is captured and stored. During the third stage, input is analyzed and during the fourth stage, the insight gained from analysis is used to make decisions.
