The ability of an organism to maintain stable internal conditions despite changing external conditions.
What is homeostasis?
Definition of thermoregulation.
A cell, tissue, or organ that carriers out a specific response to a stimulus.
What is positive?
A sensory pathway and response that your body uses to maintain homeostasis
What is a feedback mechanism?
When your body temperature goes up, there is (increased/decreased) blood flow to skin and you (shiver/sweat).
What is increased and sweat?
Regulates processes by stopping a cellular response and inhibiting the original stimulus
What is a negative feedback mechanism?
When your body temperature goes down, there is (increased/decreased) blood flow to skin and you (shiver/sweat).
What is decreased and shiver?
What is set point?
Your body needs glucose to make energy through this process.
What is cellular respiration?
