PARASYMPATHETIC

NERVOUS SYSTEM
- is one of the subdivisions of the
autonomic nervous system which is
associated with the involuntary control
of body movements

- it maintains body functions and

restores the body to normal or relaxed
mode
HYPOTHALAMUS
HYPOTHALAMUS
- in the brain that links
the nervous and
endocrine system

- this gland keeps your

body balanced in a
stable state called
homeostasis.
 Homeostasis is the
maintenance of internal
balance in an organism despite
changes in the environment.
It is supported by the various
systems of the body.
 When the brain receives
messages from the body about
an internal change in one of its
systems, it works to restore
the system to its normal state
through the feedback
mechanism.
 Feedback mechanism
works to return the body to
its normal internal state.
 Negative Feedback
is a control system that reduces or
even stops the body from producing
change when favorable or stable
conditions are met
 Positive Feedback
is a control system that causes the
end products of an action to produce
more of that action to occur in the
feedback loop
Stimulus - is something that disrupts the
body’s homeostasis
Sensor - it detects the change in
homeostasis
Control center - it is the part of the body
that responds to the change and takes
action
Effector - it is any organ or cell that
ultimately responds to the stimulus

Response - a response from the effector

balances out the original stimulus to
maintain homeostasis
