Homeostasis: Negative Feedback
by Anonymous
Raise or lower body temperature and blood sugar to see negative feedback at work as sweating, shivering, insulin, and glucagon restore the normal range.
About this app
Homeostasis: Negative Feedback is an interactive biology simulation showing how the body counteracts changes and returns toward normal conditions. Explore the general feedback pathway from stimulus to sensor, control center, and effector, then investigate temperature regulation through sweating and shivering and blood glucose regulation through insulin and glucagon. Adjustable controls and guided missions let learners compare different stimulus, environment, and meal-intake conditions.
Use cases
- High school biology students studying homeostasis
