Negative Feedback

Negative feedback is a crucial process in maintaining homeostasis, ensuring the body's internal environment remains stable. It involves detecting changes in variables like temperature or blood sugar and activating mechanisms to return them to a set point. The hypothalamus plays a key role in this process. An example is blood sugar regulation, where insulin and glucagon adjust glucose levels. Negative feedback is a continuous cycle, correcting deviations to maintain balance.
