    The document discusses different types of regulation of bodily functions including nervous regulation via reflex arcs, humoral or neuro-humoral regulation using the endocrine system and chemicals, auto-regulation responding directly to environmental changes, and feedback control including negative feedback that produces the opposite effect of the stimulus and positive feedback that intensifies the response in a vicious circle.

    Auto-regulation

    Respond directly to the environmental


    changes
    Depending neither on nervous nor on
    humoral control

    5
    Feedback Control

    Feeds the output information back


    to the control system so as to modify
    the nature of the control.

    negative positive

    6
    Negative Feedback Control

    Negative feedback signals always


    produces an effect opposite to that
    produced by the initiating stimulus.

    7
    Positive Feedback Control

    Intensifies the activity of the control system.


    It is vicious circles
