The phenomenon of homeostasis is understood as the ability the body has to stabilise its internal environment despite the ever changing external conditions (Waterhouse‚ 2007). This internal environment is an atmosphere which surrounds the cells and is therefore the medium in which the cells are in direct contact with in the body (Sherwood‚ 2001). The internal environment is essential for cell survival because cells require a constant supply of oxygen and food which is exchanged from the external

Systems Chart Jacqueline Wheaton BSHS 311/ Models of Effective Helping Systems Chart The term system means the consistent arrangement of things connected to unity or to operate as a whole (Dictionary‚ 2012). In Systems theory we will describe dynamics in a family as dyads‚ triads‚ and in homeostasis. In a system when one part of that system changes‚ the whole system changes.

There are two forms of homeostasis‚ positive feedback and negative feedback. The type of feedback which is most common is negative feedback. This works by making the levels that have changed return back to normal. Positive feedback is the least common type of feedback. This is where one component escalates to another which continues to escalate to another. In positive feedback the level of control the component does not return to normal straight away. Negative feedback is usually what happens inside
