The APsolute Recap: Biology Edition - Feedback
Episode description
In Episode 14, Melanie explains why your parents are always telling you to put on a sweatshirt rather than adjust the thermostat in your house! Break it down into stimulus and response (1:41). The two types of feedback mechanisms are discussed by mechanism, their effect on homeostasis and with examples. Negative feedback (2:16) returns conditions to homeostasis while positive (4:22) feedback intentionally changes conditions from a set point.
The Question of the Day (5:50) asks “The onset of labor in childbirth is an example of what type of feedback?”
