The control center compares this value against a reference value (set point). The receptor senses the change in the variable. An initiation event or stimulus causes a change in a variable. Feedbackįeedback is a situation when the output or response of a loop impacts or influences the input or stimulus. When a stimulus, or change in the environment, is present, feedback loops respond to keep systems functioning near a set point, or ideal level. Remember that homeostasis is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment. Chapter 9: The Lymphatic System and Immunityĥ3. Endocrine Homeostasis and Integration of Systemsĥ9.
