The ability to maintain relatively stable internal conditions even though the outside world changes continuously
Positive Feedback Loop
the body's response to a stimulus reinforces the initial change. e.g During childbirth, uterine contractions stimulate the release of the hormone oxytocin
Negative Feedback Loop
the body responds to a stimulus by initiating processes that counteract the initial change, thus returning the system to its set point e.g changing body temp, glucose levels
