Homeostasis: Negative Feedback
by Anonymous · ⭐ 1 · 🍴 0
See how negative feedback brings the body back to normal: when body temperature rises, we sweat; when it falls, we shiver—returning to 36.5°C. When blood sugar rises, insulin is released; when it falls, glucagon helps restore a healthy range.

About this app
Homeostasis: Negative Feedback is an interactive high-school biology learning app about how the body returns conditions toward normal after a disturbance. Explore the sensor → control center → effector pathway, then adjust environmental temperature to observe sweating or shivering and change meal intake to observe insulin or glucagon responses. Mission-based activities guide learners through comparing feedback on and off and testing different stimulus levels.
Use cases
- High-school biology students learning homeostasis and negative feedback
- Teachers demonstrating temperature regulation in class
- Learners reviewing insulin and glucagon control of blood glucose
- Self-study practice with interactive biology missions
Features
- Interactive feedback-loop diagram with stimulus, sensor, control center, and effector stages
- Temperature controls showing sweating in heat and shivering in cold
- Meal-intake controls showing insulin or glucagon responses
- Visual normal ranges and reference values for body temperature and blood glucose
- Step-by-step missions with reset and next controls
- Separate Feedback, Temperature, and Glucose sections
