In order to maintain it, systems in the body employ ____(2)_____ which dictates the increase or decrease of the level or amount of a condition or variable. For example, when the increased amount of a hormone triggers the production of a second hormone, it is called a ____(3)_____ feedback mechanism. Sometimes, the increased amount of a variable decreases or stops the production of a hormone. In this case, it is considered a ____(4)____ feedback mechanism.
