Question
jared was working in a hot dish room all afternoon, sweating. after his shift, he stepped out into a cold december night and got \goose bumps.\ what type of homeostatic regulation best describes these physiological responses?
extrinsic regulation
receptor - mediated homeostasis
autoregulation
positive feedback
Extrinsic regulation involves regulatory mechanisms (like nervous or endocrine systems) responding to external environmental changes (hot dish room, cold night). Sweating in heat and goose bumps in cold are body’s responses to external stimuli, controlled by external regulatory systems (not local/autoregulatory or receptor - mediated in the narrow sense here, and positive feedback amplifies a process, not matching this homeostatic adjustment to external changes).
