What is mean by homeostasis?

• Controls and coordinates body activities through chemical

• controls and coordinates body activities through electrical impulses

• dynamic constancy of the internal environment despite constant changes in the external environment

• remove metabolic waste products from the cell

How negative feedback works?

• The effector oppose the change, variable push back toward the set-point value

• The effector enhance the change, variable pushed even farther from the set-point value

• The effector do nothing to the change, variable pushed even farther from the set-point value

• The effector enhance the change, variable push up and down without set-point value
