4. example of negative feedback is regulating ______ concentration
5. feedback that does NOT contribute to Homeostasis, but to specific physiological needs
6. A modification to a regulated variable ________ a reaction that opposes the change by pushing the variable in the other way from the initial change.
8. If glucose levels are too high, they release ______ that goes and acts on muscles, fat cells, and other cells.
9. ______integratestergates information with other information
11. A change in a controlled variable triggers a response that drives the variable in the opposite
