Question
  1. Explain the difference between tonic and antagonistic control of homeostatic balance. Fig. 6.15 Give two examples of each.
ANTAGONISTIC CONTROL
(b) Antagonistic control uses different
signals to send a parameter in
opposite directions. In this
example, antagonistic
neurons control heart rate:
Stimulation by sympathetic nerves increases heart rate.
Heartbeats
some speed it up, while
others slow it down.

TONIC CONTROL
(a) Tonic control regulates physiological parameters
in an up-down fashion. The signal is always present
but changes in intensity.
