Negative feedback occurs in response to a stimulus. The stimulus activated sensory detectors which then sent the message to the hypothalamus gland where the information was processed and analyzed. The hypothalamus initiates a negative feedback response to counteract the stimulus to return your body to homeostasis.

What do you think would happen to the level of a hormone in the blood if negative feedback didn't happen?

If negative feedback did not occur, the hormone level in the blood would likely continue to increase. Negative feedback mechanisms control hormones by signaling the body to stop producing them once they reach a certain level. Without this regulation, hormone levels could become dangerously high or low, leading to health issues.


Feedback is when the body reacts in the same direction as a stimulus. Negative Positive?

Feedback can be both negative and positive. Negative feedback occurs when the body's response counteracts the stimulus, helping to maintain homeostasis. Positive feedback amplifies the stimulus, leading to a larger response.


Is urinating a negative feedback?

Urinating is not an example of negative feedback. Negative feedback is a process that uses the result of a process to regulate the process itself, maintaining homeostasis. Urinating is a normal physiological process to eliminate waste and regulate fluid balance in the body.


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.


Why is the type of feedback that maintains homeostasis referred to as negative feedback?

Once the desired effect has taken place, feedback is sent to stop any further action by the system. This is called negative feedback because it stops (or lessens) the output. An example of negative feedback: Low body temperature -> shivering -> temperature rises -> stop shivering There are some forms of positive feedback, where the production of something actually leads to further production.

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.

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.
