Document Summary

Homeostasis regulates most physiological activities and systems in animal physiology. A hormone is a secreted chemical messenger that enables communication between cells and tissues throughout the body. Feedback control maintains homeostasis (negative and positive feedback). A positive feedback loop causes a self-amplifying cycle where a physiological change leads to even greater change in the same direction. A negative feedback loop is a process in which the body senses a change, and activates mechanisms to reverse that change. Feedback regulation and antagonistic hormone pairs are common. Endocrine glads are central to regulating homeostasis, development and behaviour (homeostasis diagram, positive and negative feedback) Intracellular digestion, performed by the white blood cells in the human body. ca++ helps to neutralize the cell"s membrane for phagocytosis. the membrane lipid has a negative charge. the lysosomes do the digesting in the inner cell.
