When the level of a certain hormone gets too high, it stimulates the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland to release an inhibatory hormone to make the gland that is secreting the hormone stop making more of it so the level goes down.

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.


How does the endocrine system use feedback loops to maintian homeostasis?

There are many endocrine systems. An endocrine system is one where a gland excretes substances internally or to a surface such as the skin. Both salivary glands and sweat glands are two such systems. It may seem picky to make this distinction but each system uses its own feedback to achieve homeostasis (equilibrium). There are several types off feedback loop such as "mechanical circuits" (sweat cooling skin to slow this process) or by nervous or hormonal systems. edit: Neither salivary glands nor sweat glands are apart of the endocrine system. Both are exocrine.


What kind of feedback is the endocrine system?

Does the endocrine system often run on negative feed back?

Endocrine system usually uses the negative feed back mechanism. So suppose when thyroid stimulating hormone is released, then thyroid hormones are released. They reduce the secretion of thyroid stimulating hormone. This is how the secretions of the hormones is regulated. In positive feed back mechanism, the level of both the hormones will raise and will create lot of problems.


How the endocrine system regulates homeostasis is known as?

What two organ most directly regulates the body system?

Negative feedback mechanism is used by two body systems: the nervous system and the endocrine system. The nervous system is the quick one and uses an intricate circuitry of neurons and your brain to respond to changes. The endocrine system is the slow one and is made up of endocrine glands that secrete hormones to counter changes.
