Episode 1 - Homeostasis and feedback loops

In this episode, we introduce the concept of homeostasis—the body’s ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. We explore the components of feedback loops: receptors, control centers, and effectors. Negative feedback is discussed as a key mechanism for maintaining stability, while positive feedback is shown to amplify changes in specific cases like childbirth. Examples such as thermoregulation and blood glucose regulation illustrate these principles.
