how do you explain the role negative and positive feedback plays in maintaining homeostasis to a newly diagnosed diabetic patien
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The effector is a muscle or a gland that will carry out the required response. Homeostasis is maintained by negative feedback loops within the organism. In contrast, positive feedback loops push the organism further out of homeostasis, but may be necessary for life to occur.

Diabetes, for example, is a disease caused by a broken feedback loop involving the hormone insulin. Both processes pull sugar out of the blood, bringing blood sugar levels down, reducing insulin secretion, and returning the whole system to homeostasis.

Blood sugar levels are regulated by negative feedback in order to keep the body in balance. The levels of glucose in the blood are monitored by many tissues, but the cells in the pancreatic islets are among the most well understood and important.
