hi pplz
this is my first tym on this forum, looked lyk a good idea for my HSC nxt year
so howdiezzz all!!!! :wave:

homeostasis: the process by whch organisms maintain a relatively constant or stable internal environment for body cells. It consists of two stages:
1) detecting the change from stable state.
2) counteracting changes from the stable state.

so, just making sure, is the feedback mechanism merely the 2nd stage or is it the whole process of detecting and counteracting. If its both the stages, then isn't homeostasis the same as feedback mechanism? what's the difference between the two?

feedback mechanism involves the stimulus-receptor-central nervos system- effector- response pathway. with homeostasis being the constant internal and external state of an organism. thats the diff
