1. Homeostasis Examples
Regulation in Animals

2. Standards Assessed
5.4 Organisms use feedback mechanisms to maintain their internal environments and respond to external environmental changes.
5.5 Homeostatic mechanisms reflect both common ancestry and divergence due to adaptation in different environments.
5.7 Biological systems are affected by disruptions to their dynamic homeostasis.

3. Assignment Pick 3 homeostatic cycles included here to work on.
For each:
Name the homeostatic cycle
List the organs involved
Explain the cycle and how it should be controlled to maintain homeostasis
Explain any feedback mechanisms involved and whether they are positive or negative.
Explain (if applicable) the adaptive advantage of the cycle.
Answer any questions in the example (ex. What if…)
