Question

Which best describes the role of a negative feedback loop?

Answer 1

The role of the negative feedback loop is,

that the output is being reduced so that the body can maintain homeostasis.

The negative feedback loop is a homeostatic control mechanism through which levels of hormones are maintained within a narrow range by feeding the product back to decrease its production.

Answer 2

Answer:

The output is reduced so the body can maintain homeostasis.

Explanation:

• Our body tends to maintain a stable state under all conditions by utilizing the various physiological processes and this maintenance of stability is termed as homeostasis.

• Negative feedback loop is one of the ways through which the body can maintain its homeostaiss.

• This loop is regulated by itself and it functions to decrease the output when it increases to a greater level by inhibiting its production from the source.

• For example, if the levels of the pituitary hormones increases then the negative feedback loop will signal the pituitary to inhibit the production of the hormone and this negative feedback will be provided by the increased product itself.
