  1. Wallenda Modelof homeostasis • Variable:position of body • Setpoint:directly over the wire • Sensors:nerve receptors(eyes, inner ears, muscle stretch receptors, etc.) • Integrator:brain • Effectors:skeletal muscles • Relative constancy near a setpoint • Dynamic • Energy-consuming • Negative feedback loops • Stability of variable is vital to survival • Interdependence of variables (pyramid)
