Positive and negative feedback

The document discusses feedback mechanisms in the body, explaining the differences between positive and negative feedback, and their roles in maintaining homeostasis. It includes examples such as insulin and glucagon for negative feedback, and oxytocin during childbirth for positive feedback. Additionally, it outlines group activities and quizzes to reinforce understanding of these concepts.

1.This is the movement
of solvent from a lower

concentration through a

membrane.
2. It means to maintain dynamic
equilibrium in the body. It is
dynamic because it is constantly
adjusting to the changes that the
body’s systems encounter.

8. Feedback Mechanisms
Feedback mechanism – our body’s
way of maintaining homeostasis of
equilibrium.
It is helped by the hormones or
signaling molecules to coordinate
functions in the body.
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
-When the body senses that
something is out of equilibrium is
going on.
-Move above or below a set target
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
Ex. Hypothermia- body
temperature rises- sweating
(cooling)
Hypothermia-body cools down-
shivering (warm up the muscle)
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
Ex. Glucose level
High glucose level-insulin is released
Low glucose level- glucagon is released
POSITIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
(Amplification)
-it maintains the direction of stimuli
Moving away from a target set
point
-one action causes more actions
POSITIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
Ex. Contraction during childbirth
More contraction causes more pressure
which causes more contractions
Oxytocin- a hormone that stimulates
the uterine contraction
POSITIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISM
Ex. Heart disease
Damage to blood vessels can cause the
build up of a plaque (atherosclerosis)
which increases blood pressure which
causes even more damage to blood
vessels.

Short quiz:
Hormones are produced by the endocrine system to
maintain balance or homeostasis. Identify the hormone
being asked in each sentence.
1. A hormone produced by the pancreas to maintain the
normal sugar level of the blood.

2. This hormone stimulates uterine contraction during


childbirth.

3. Positive feedback amplifies an action while negative


feedback is moving below or above a ________.
8. Feedback Mechanisms
An example is animal maintenance of blood
glucose levels. When an animal has eaten,
blood glucose levels rise. This is sensed by the
nervous system. Specialized cells in the
pancreas sense this, and the hormone insulin
is released by the endocrine system. Insulin
causes blood glucose levels to decrease, as
would be expected in a negative feedback
system
8. Feedback Mechanisms

Positive Feedback Loop :maintains the direction of


the stimulus, possibly accelerating it. Few examples
of positive feedback loops exist in animal bodies, but
one is found in the cascade of chemical reactions
that result in blood clotting, or coagulation. As one
clotting factor is activated, it activates the next
factor in sequence until a fibrin clot is achieved. The
direction is maintained, not changed, so this is
positive feedback. Another example of positive
feedback is uterine contractions during childbirth
