Pulmonary hypertension is a rare lung disorder in which the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs become narrowed, making it difficult for blood to flow through the vessels. As a result, the blood pressure in these arteries -- called pulmonary arteries -- rises far above normal levels.
Homeostatic Control Mechanisms Homeostatic Control Mechanisms are devices for maintaining or restoring homeostasis. They involve virtually all of the bodyâs organs and systems.
Almost all homeostatic control mechanisms are negative feedback mechanisms. These mechanisms change the variable back to its original state or âideal valueâ. A good example of a negative feedback mechanism is a home thermostat (heating system).The thermostat contains the receptor (thermometer) and control center.If the heating system is set at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, the heat (effector) is turned on if the temperature drops below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. good example of a negative feedback mechanism is a home thermostat (heating system).
