Animal Physiology
About This Book
2 Homeostatic mechanisms Learning Objectives - Define homeostasis - Describe the factors affecting homeostasis - Discuss positive and negative feedback mechanisms used in homeostasis - Describe thermoregulation of endothermic and ectothermic animals When a change occurs in an animal’s environment, an adjustment must be made. The receptor senses the change in the environment, then sends a signal to the control center (in most cases, the brain) which in turn generates a response that is signaled t
