1) Homeostasis requires feedback loops in order maintain relatively constant internal conditions
Below, you will find a situation in which homeostasis is being maintained:
The human body must work to maintain a relatively constant concentration of Ca2+ in the blood
When the blood [Ca2+] drops below normal levels, cells called osteoclasts will release stored Ca
by breaking down bone. In order to begin this process, the osteoclasts must first come into
contact with PTH; this is how the osteoclasts know when to start breaking down bone tissue.
PTH is a hormone that is produced by the parathyroid glands when these glands detect that the
blood [Ca2+] has dropped below normal levels. As the release of Ca2+ brings blood [Ca²+] closer
to healthy levels, less PTH is secreted, until finally the blood [Ca²*] is back to healthy levels and
no PTH is secreted anymore.
a) Identify the sensor, control center, and effector in the situation described above.

b) Is this a negative or positive feedback loop?
