Homeostasis
Main functions of the Reproductive, Endocrine and Nervous Systems
Endocrine System: The endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream. Endocrine system hormones help control mood, growth and development, the way organs function, metabolism and reproduction
Reproduction System: The reproductive system - as its name indicates - has the main function of ensuring human reproduction, through hormonal secretion and regulation, production of gametes and the presence of organs that allow sexual union and procreation.
Nervous System: In the central nervous system, the mental processes necessary to understand the information we receive from the outside are carried out. Likewise, it is the system in charge of transmitting certain impulses to the nerves and muscles, which is why it directs their movements.

Feedback
What is feedback?
Feedback are responses from your body, they can amplify or inhibit a system in order to maintain homeostasis. This is when you internal condition is stable, the temperature, glucose, pH.
Types of feedback
Positive Feedback
Is a mechanism that increases changes to a system. For example when a woman is havin child birth's contractions, her endocrine system is producing oxytocin hormones to simulate the contractions. The woman's nervous system feels the pain but instead of lowering the oxytocin, the endocrien system increases it until the contraction is powerful enough to push the baby outside of the uterine. Finally, the woman get back to her homeostasis
Negative Feedback
Is a mechanism that decreases changes in a system. For example when a man is done of eating his meal, his intestine absorbs the glucose and the blood glucose levels rise. This stimulate beta cells in the pancreas to produce insulin. This insulin lowers the glucose in blood and bring the man back to his homeostasis.
