Homeostasis is sub-concious, as you are not thinking about keeping your body in a state of complete efficiancy or comfort.

What happens if the process of Homeostasis has too much of an affect at rising your body temperature?
The process will be stimulated and sent to the co-ordination centre via electronic impulses. Then the process will began again however the process will be the opposite of heating you up and it will cool you down.

When does Homeostasis take place?
Homeostasis takes place when the internal or external surroundings stimulate the co-ordination centre. This could be for a high or a low temperature, glucose levels being too high or too low and a few other things.

What is the function of a receptor?
A receptor detects a stimulus. For example low blood glucose levels or high or low temperature. It then sends an electronic impulse to the coordination centre to trigger a response to this stimuli.

What does an effector do?
An effector will effect the levels of whatevr is being the stimulus and allow the levels to change. If you are too hot the effector will be sweat glands.

What is negative feedback?
Negative feedback is the feedback given out. For example a message to the sweat glands to sweat would be an example of negative feedback.

What are the three main parts of the co-ordination centre?
The brain, Pancreas and also the spinal cord.
7 of 10
What are the three components to Homeostasis?
Receptors which sense a stimulus and send electronic impulses via nerves to the co-ordination centre which consits of the brain, spinal cord and the pancreas, which then sends a message via electronic impulses through nerves to sort out a response.

Give some examples where Homeostasis would be used?
Possible injuries, this would tell the body to release some adreniline. Blood glucose levels, water content and also temperature of the body.

What is Homeostasis?
Homeostasis is the body keeping itself at the right conditions for it to function. To carry out cell actions and enzymes working. There are internal changes such as release of chemiclals and external ones such as sweating.
