Homeostasis

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Homeostasis interactive also includes:
  • Diary of a Snake Bite
  • Student Reference

How much negative feedback does a body get daily? The interactive walks through one negative feedback loop, increasing body temperature. Then it challenges scholars to relate this to mechanical feedback loops and disorders that prevent these loops in humans. The video offers a look into a scientist who tracked venom spreading through his body until his death.
