Homeostasis and Negative/Positive Feedback

The video explains homeostasis, the body's balance state, and how it is maintained through feedback mechanisms. It uses examples like a bearded dragon to illustrate ectotherms and discusses negative feedback in temperature and glucose regulation. Positive feedback is explained with childbirth as an example. The video also highlights issues in feedback systems, such as type 1 diabetes, where insulin production is impaired.

What is homeostasis and why is it important for the body?

How does the body respond to high temperatures according to the negative feedback mechanism?

What happens to the body when it gets too cold, and how does it relate to negative feedback?

Describe the role of insulin in blood sugar regulation.

Explain the difference between positive feedback and negative feedback.

Provide an example of positive feedback in the human body.
