When a harmful substance is ingested the body acts to eliminate it in different ways to prevent the animal becoming ill, for example, through vomiting or diarrhoea.
When a harmful substance is ingested the body acts to eliminate it in different ways to prevent the animal becoming ill, for example, through vomiting or diarrhoea.
If one or more of the pathways in controlling feeding is damaged or inhibited, then problems such as obesity can occur.
If one or more of the [[Control of Feeding - Anatomy & Physiology#Neuroendocrine Regulation of Feeding|neuroendocrine pathways]] involved with the control of feeding is damaged or inhibited, then problems such as obesity can occur.
