Blood-Glucose in simple terms.
In thermoregulation, what is the stimulus if you are sweating?
What is, heat.

What is, the receptor.
This type of Homeostasis is disrupted if you have diabetes.
What is, Blood-Glucose levels.
Diabetes disrupts what part of the Blood-Glucose homeostasis.

In thermoregulation, what is the stimulus if you are shivering?
What is, cold.
What part of the body decides what to do with the information that there is an environmental change?
What is, the brain?
Define negative feedback.
A stimulus from the environment sends a signal to the brain (the receptor) then your brain sends a signal to your body (the effector) to react in a certain way based on the stimulus, usually the opposite.

What is, insulin.
Thermoregulation is what kind of feedback?
What is, negative feedback.
