Homeostasis and Negative/Positive Feedback

One of the MOST important concepts you need to know in Anatomy and Physiology is homeostasis! However, not all homeostatic variables are controlled in the same way - many use negative feedback loops, and some use positive feedback loops. In this comprehensive video, we cover the major components of a negative feedback loop (control center, receptor, effector, etc.), use a helpful analogy to understand it, and then discuss the positive feedback loop of childbirth. After watching this, you will be able to understand hundreds of different mechanisms in the human body that maintain homeostasis! #anatomy #anatomyandphysiology #nursing #nursingeducation #homeostasis #physiology #feedbackloops #negativefeedback #positivefeedback #biology
