Homeostasis
Some of the body’s homeostatic responses rely on “negative feedback”. Which of the following happens in negative feedback?
The body ignores changes in a physiological variable that are directed towards the set point for that variable.
The body ignores changes in a physiological variable that are directed away from the set point for that variable.
The body’s response acts to oppose the change in the physiological variable.
The body’s response acts to enhance the change in the physiological variable
The body’s response acts to oppose the change in the physiological variable.
”Negative” refers to the response being in the opposite direction to the stimulus. Thus if a variable is increasing, then the body’s response is to produce a change that causes the variable to decrease. The body does not “ignore” stimuli.
