Ovulation
Physiology Group
Adedayo Ariyibi, Lisa Brown, Kaitlin Maditz,
Brandon Moore, Reyna VanGilder
Facilitator: Kasi Jackson
Target Audience
• 200 level physiology course
comparative, animal, general,
anatomy & physiology
• A with a varying numbers of students
Background Knowledge
Class preparation includes reading and an
online quiz covering:
• Positive and negative feedback mechanisms
• Hormone regulation of the ovarian cycle
Learning Goals
•
Students will be able to characterize
homeostasis in relationship to feedback
mechanisms.
•
Students will understand how positive and
negative feedback mechanisms function.
•
Students will understand how feedback
mechanisms regulate the ovarian cycle.
Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to:
• Explain the differences and similarities
between positive and negative feedback
mechanisms.
• Apply the feedback mechanism concept to
the female ovarian cycle.
Tidbit 1
The thermostat in your dorm is set at 70
degrees. However, because it is so cold
outside, the thermostat activates the
furnace to keep the temperature of your
dorm room at 70 degrees. Is this an
example of:
A) Positive Feedback
B) Negative Feedback

Can you put these parts into a functioning
feedback mechanism diagram?
