Imagine this process in the body:

The brain tells your stomach to release chemical A.

Chemical A causes Chemical B to be released.

Chemical B has an effect on your body. Chemical B also tells the brain to stop releasing Chemical A.

The negative feedback is Chemical B telling the brain to stop. If the brain keeps releasing chemical A, then chemical B will keep being released and do things to your body and it would never stop. This creates an imbalance. Therefore, the end products of any reaction in the body tell the source to

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.


A thermostat maintains the teperature of a room at a given level what cell process is similar to this?

Negative feedback in biological systems is similar to a thermostat maintaining temperature in a room. In negative feedback, a change in a physiological variable triggers a response that counteracts the initial change, helping to maintain homeostasis.

How does positive feedback maintain cellular homeostasis?

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.

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.
