In this lesson, we unpack the endocrine system and the different components that make this system able to achieve homeostasis.

Negative feedback mechanism
The endocrine system has a negative and positive feedback mechanism to help it achieve the balance of homeostasis. In this lesson, we look into how this type of regulation keeps the body in balance around the set body’s set points.

Homeostasis in humans
Homeostasis is about maintaining the internal environment of the body. This balance is achieved through a number of mechanisms and hormones. In this lesson, we look at all the ways in which homeostasis is achieved in the body.

Thermoregulation: Skin
The skin is the largest organ of the body and is therefore a key player in maintaining homeostasis. In this lesson, we look at homeostasis through thermoregulation and how the skin works with other structures to control our internal temperatures.
