Your body maintains homeostasis through negative feedback. This somewhat like using a thermostat to maintain a narrow range of temperature in the house.
negative feedback
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.
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.
Homeostasis works as a negative feedback mechanism, which is a kind of reflex action. When the body detects changes in external/internal environment, the receptor will generate a nerve impulse to the coordination centre and then make a response through effector. This is a reflex arc.
Negative feedback.
That's negative feedback. Positive feedback ruins homeostasis.

No, negative feedback is the primary homeostatic mechanism regulating the endocrine system. Positive feedback is used much less frequently.

it is important for our body to maintain homeostasis(constant internal environment). there are 3 components.receptor which receives the change then it is transferred to the control center (mostly brain),which makes a correct response which will be send to the effector organ.It is maintained by either positive or negative feedback mechanism.
You must give "which of the following" for us to answer your question.
how is homeostasis maintained in the body through negative feedback?
