Is negative feed back the primary homeostatic mechanism that keeps a variable close to a particular value?
Yes. Negative feedback reacts to a variance by opposing it. (ie. Your body has low [O2], so you increase respiratory rate which does the opposite, pushing up your [O2]) Positive feedback is rare and reacts to a variance by supporting it. (eg. In childbirth a woman's cervix expands and her body releases Oxytocin, due to the high levels of Oxytocin the cervix can expand further which releases more Oxytocin.)
