Question

Task: Create a diagram showing the feedback mechanism of the following scenarios.

Homeostasis of Temperature (cold). Our bodies try to maintain a constant temperature close to 98.6 F or 37 C. If the environment gets cold, we often shiver to get warm. This is an automatic response to maintaining temperature.

Answer 1

Maintenance of homeostasis usually involves negative feedback loops. These loops act to oppose the stimulus, or cue, that triggers them. For example, if your body temperature is too low, a negative feedback loop will act to bring it back down towards the set point, or target value, of 98.6 ∘ F.
