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.

What is a feed Back?

It depends on whether it is positive or negative feedback. Most biological organisms exhibit both negative and positive feedback, including humans. An example of positive feedback is contractions during childbirth. Negative feedback is blood sugar regulation based upon the release of insulin into the bloodstream at necessary times.

What is a good example of a negative feedback loop?

dik Not sure what they mean by that but... A good example of a positive feedback loop is the increased production of insulin by our pancreas. After a meal we may have heightened blood sugar levels. The endocrine system triggers insulin production in the pancreas to counteract this rise and return our blood sugar levels back to normal. Once normality has been reached the endocrine system signals our pancreas to cease the production and release of insulin. Actually, that is an example of a negative feedback loop. Negative feedback loops negate an action, while positive feedback loops encourage it. An example of a Positive feedback loop is childbirth, the body increases the amount of oxytocin in the blood to encourage contractions in order to birth the baby.

Is contractions during childbirth positive or negative feedback?

Positive feedback.


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.

What are the example of negative and positive feedback in geography?

A negative feedback would be if the planet heats up, the glaciers will melt, lowering the albedo effect of the snow, and in turn causing the planet to heat up more That is positive feedback, not negative. Positive feedback enhances the initial stimulus, negative feedback reverses the initial stimulus. The planet starts by heating up, then heats up even more, which is positive feedback.
