Normally, the body attempts to regulate its metabolism through homeostatis. It monitors levels of various things through structures called receptors that communicate with integration centers - if something that is homeostatically regulated is not within a normal range, the integrating center can effect change. The receptor then tells the integrating center when the value is returned to normal, and the center stops acting to fix it.
Fever is the body's normal immune response to infection. Many infecting organism like bacteria or viruses (though viruses are not technically organisms) cannot survive such high temperatures, and the body uses this as a general mechanism to protect itself. The body will not raise its temperature beyond a functional level. The immune system takes over in this case; the active nature of the immune system in the face of infection is a much stronger response than any homeostatic response. Other homeostatically regulated things will continute to be regulated through a fever, but the body's primary concern to eliminate the infection.
Thirst has a direct relationship to homeostasis. Thirst is the body's way of saying that you need water to maintain homeostasis.
Negative feedback can be related to homeostasis in a few ways. The main way would be self regulate levels of certain substances in the body.
hiii :)
That's negative feedback. Positive feedback ruins homeostasis.
Temperature control is regarded as an example of negative feedback because it is used in homeostasis.
No, negative feedback is the primary homeostatic mechanism regulating the endocrine system. Positive feedback is used much less frequently.
They are both major components to completing homeostasis.
Negative feedback occurs in response to a stimulus. The stimulus activated sensory detectors which then sent the message to the hypothalamus gland where the information was processed and analyzed. The hypothalamus initiates a negative feedback response to counteract the stimulus to return your body to homeostasis.
how is homeostasis maintained in the body through negative feedback?
The Negative feedback System & the Positive Feedback System are the two types of Homeostasis
Negative feedback.
That's negative feedback. Positive feedback ruins homeostasis.
Negative feedback loops are important because it helps the body return to homeostasis.

Perhaps you don't understand the meaning of positive and negative feedback. Positive feedback keeps adding to a process. Negative feedback doesn't. If a person fills a bathtub, positive feedback will continue the filling even if it runs over. Negative feedback will turn the water off when the tub is filled. So, negative feedback maintains homeostasis. Homeostasis means "steady state". When a processes is completed, it turns it off. Example: Blood sugar levels remain in a certain range.
