Thirst is part of a negative feedback mechanism. When the proper levels of water are not present in the body, a sensor detects the imbalance. The brain sent sends a signal to tell the body to obtain water/fluids to remain to a homestatic level of water. Once fluids are obtaind, the body can retain the water and levels will increase. Homeostatis is then reached as the response decreases.

Is menstrual cycle a feedback mechanism?

Yes.The Menstrual cycle is a feedback mechanism because it is regulated by hormones which are controlled by negative feedback mechanisms. This mechanism includes hormones that are interacted with tissues in the menstrual cycle.


Are positive feedback and negative feedback both components of homeostasis?

Yes, both positive and negative feedback are components of homeostasis. Negative feedback helps to maintain a stable internal environment by reversing any deviations from a set point, while positive feedback amplifies the response to a stimulus, often to achieve a specific outcome in the body. Both types of feedback work together to regulate physiological processes and maintain balance within the body.


what direction does negative feedback mechanism drive the factor being regulated?

Negative feedback mechanisms drive the factor being regulated in the opposite direction of the change, helping to return it to its set point or normal level. If the factor increases above the set point, negative feedback will work to decrease it, and vice versa.


When the initial stimulus produces a response that reinforces the stimulus the mechanism is called?

positive feedback


What is a control mechanism that responds to a stimulus by decreasing its intensity called?

There are two kinds of feedback in the control of the body. Negative feedback occurs when a change happens in the body that makes the body beyond it's homeostatic level. Negative feedback reverses those changes and returns the body back to it's normal stage. Positive feedback occurs to temporarily amplify or enforce the change that is occurring. This process causes a number of increases until a signal is sent to the brain to stop the process.

What is the difference between feedback negative feedback a negative feedback response a negative feedback mechanism and a negative feed back loop?

in negative feedback. when an enzyme (negative feed back mechanism) produces too much of a molecule or substance that substance binds to the enzymes allosteric site to hault production of that substance (negative feedback response). and the whole process is the negative feedback loop.


What is the effect of a negative feedback mechanism?

A negative feedback system is what occurs most commonly in your body systems. These keep everything in a homeostatic state.


Is blood calcium level a positive or negative feedback mechanism?

How does the negative-feedback work?

The negative feedback mechanism is important in many biological processes. The process can be shut off by the accumulation of products further along in the process.


What is the mechanism of homeostasis whereby a step inhibits the initial signal in the series?

negative feedback


Is reflex a form of a negative feedback response?

Reflex is not necessarily a form of negative feedback response. Reflexes are quick, involuntary responses to stimuli, while negative feedback is a regulatory mechanism that helps maintain homeostasis by reducing the effects of any deviation from an ideal set point. Reflexes can be part of negative feedback loops, but not all reflexes are negative feedback responses.
