Identify the organ systems that are involved in the homeostatic processes.
What kind of feedback, positive or negative, is used to maintain the homeostasis?
For the feedback loop, identify the stimulus, receptor, integrating center, effector, and response.
Identify any other strategies, such as drug therapies, exercise etc., can be used to help maintain balance in this condition.
The sources used in your research.

Answer 1

Maintaining Homeostasis. The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. ... Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas.

The normal blood glucose level (tested while fasting) for non-diabetics, should be between 3.9 and 5.5 mmol/L (70 to 100 mg/dL). ...

Blood sugar levels for those without diabetes and who are not fasting should be below 6.9 mmol/L (125 mg/dL).

There are lots of different hormones in the human body that serve lots of different functions, but some are used to maintain homeostasis of various physiological parameters, like blood glucose levels. Blood glucose levels are regulated by two opposing hormones: insulin and glucagon.
