• The maintenance of constant internal environment in response to internal/external environment.
• The self adjusting mechanism involving feedback where the response to a stimulus alters the internal conditions and may itself become a new stimulus

• "
• Negative Feedback: when the response diminishes the original stimulus. negative feedback systems cannot be used to maintain stability or prevent change

Is when a response enhances the original signal

Start a response loop in anticipation of a change

Signal carried by a sensory neuron

The electrical and chemical signals transmitted by an efferent neuron.

The acceptable range of a stimulus.

The fever temperature range is in the acceptable range of the set-point in which life can survive.
