22. Define and describe homeostasis as it relates to the three

component control loop that maintains its balance in the

human body..

Homeostasis is the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment regardless of external

changes. This process can be explained by a three part control loop which includes receptors that

monitor the body/send messages when changes occur, the messages that are then received by the CNS

or control center of the body which includes the brain and spinal cord, and, (lastly) after the CNS

determines what is necessary to stabilize the body, the targeting of effectors (muscles and glands)

which begin to take action. Homeostasis is a negative feedback mechanism, meaning once the body

becomes stable this process would stop or turn off. An example of this process occurring in the body

is seen as the body maintains its internal temperature of 98.6o. When someone goes from a 70 degree

room to the outdoors where it’s a scorching 110 degrees, a negative feedback loop would quickly kick

in to maintain homeostatic balance. As we heat up internally, the body’s receptors would recognize

the temperature change and send a sensory nerve impulse to the CNS (control centers within the brain

and spinal cord) for analysis and interpretation as to what effector (muscles or glandular secretion) is

appropriate and would reverse the imbalance efficiently and quickly enough to completely stabilize

the body’s systems. In this case, the best effectors are in the form of sweat glands, embedded within

the dermal layer of the skin covering our entire outer surface, which activate, release sweat onto our

external surface, and quickly cool our core to 98.6 degrees. As the balance is re-established the

receptor that initiated the loop, detects balance and stops sending the sensory signal that started the

negative feedback mechanism to begin with; thus shutting it off as quickly as it was initiated.
