Which of these actions represents a disturbance of homeostasis?

running a fever from sitting in a seemingly airless classroom for 80 minutes at a stretch

In contrast to negative feedback mechanisms, positive feedback mechanisms:

enhances or intensifies a stimulus

When a stimulus disrupts the body's homeostasis, the disturbed condition is detected by:

receptors

In contrast to positive feedback mechanisms, negative feedback loops:

regulate stable conditions

In homeostasis, if the response reverses the stimulus, a system is operating using:

negative feedback

When a clinician sees hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and type 2 diabetes occurring together, they will call it

metabolic syndrome
