Negative feedback, temperature regulation, and the control of blood glucose.
Homeostasis keeps the internal environment constant by negative feedback (detect a change → respond → reverse it).
Temperature control
The skin responds to keep body temperature ~37 °C:
- Too hot: sweating (evaporation cools), vasodilation (more blood near the surface → more heat lost).
- Too cold: shivering (respiration releases heat), vasoconstriction, hairs raised.
