Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans that stimulates glycolysis and increase glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue; therefore, it maintain homeostasis in the body by decreasing blood sugar level when it is high.
It shows a negative feedback because the response negates the stimulus to maintain homeostasis.

When the body reacts to stop or work in the opposite direction of a stimulus is it known as negative feedback or positive feedback?
negative feedback
What are the feedback mechanisms that regulate hormone levels in the body?
Positive and negative feedback
Explain would the formation of a goiter be positive or negative feedback?
Negative.
Is Oxytocin release a positive or negative feedback control mechanism?
positive
How does positive feedback maintain cellular 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.
What is a feed Back?
It depends on whether it is positive or negative feedback. Most biological organisms exhibit both negative and positive feedback, including humans. An example of positive feedback is contractions during childbirth. Negative feedback is blood sugar regulation based upon the release of insulin into the bloodstream at necessary times.

Is blood pressure negative or positive feedback?
Is the clotting of blood an example of positive or negative feedback?
Is urinating a negative feedback?
No it is positive feedback
Definition of negative feedback and positive feedback?
A: Any feedback that contributes to the input is positive feedback any feedback that subtract from the input is negative feedback
Is contractions during childbirth positive or negative feedback?
Positive feedback.
What is a good example of a negative feedback loop?
dik Not sure what they mean by that but... A good example of a positive feedback loop is the increased production of insulin by our pancreas. After a meal we may have heightened blood sugar levels. The endocrine system triggers insulin production in the pancreas to counteract this rise and return our blood sugar levels back to normal. Once normality has been reached the endocrine system signals our pancreas to cease the production and release of insulin. Actually, that is an example of a negative feedback loop. Negative feedback loops negate an action, while positive feedback loops encourage it. An example of a Positive feedback loop is childbirth, the body increases the amount of oxytocin in the blood to encourage contractions in order to birth the baby.
Oxygen loading a positive of negative feedback process?
oxygen loading is a positive feedback response
Describing what is feedback system and differentiating between positive and negative feedback?
when a woman's contractions speed up during labor is negative or positive feedback
Are positive feedback and negative feedback both components of homeostasis?
No, negative feedback is the primary homeostatic mechanism regulating the endocrine system. Positive feedback is used much less frequently.
What are the two types of feedback mechanisms?
There are two types of feedback mechanisms: positive feedback, which amplifies processes, and negative feedback, which stabilizes systems. For More Information : agilityportal.io
Feedback is when the body reacts in the same direction as a stimulus. Negative Positive?
Your statement is for positive feedback.
