The human body uses many different feedback mechanisms to maintain homeostasis. Describe the role of feedback in helping the body maintain homeostasis in terms of one of these three functions: thirst, hunger, or breathing rate.

How does this sound? When you exercise, your muscle tissues demand more oxygen. The body responds to this increased demand by increasing blood flow, which creates higher blood pressure. In order to get more oxygen into your body and into your blood to flow to those muscles, you have to take in more oxygen through breathing. The same process occurs when you sweat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That was in response to breathing

wow....you explains better than I do... Now what help you require?

just like u explained homeostasis in the body is maintained by negative feedback loops. In negative feedback loops, there is a resistance to change. The change initiates a response that brings the organ or structure back to normal range. Negative feedback loops have a receptor, a control center and an effector. For Example: While you do exercise : your body regulates itself.
