What is homeostasis?
The maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment despite changes in the body or its surroundings.
What is the body-temperature set point, and how is temperature regulated?
The set point is about 37°C, and temperature is regulated within a normal range.
What does negative feedback do to the initial stimulus?
It opposes the initial stimulus.
What follows the stimulus in a feedback system?
A response that affects the regulated condition.
