Summary Introduction

To review:

The components of a negative feedback control system, which results in homeostasis.

Introduction:

Homeostasis is the process that occurs in the body to maintain a constant stable internal condition even when the external environment is changing continuously. The homeostasis in the body is being constantly regulated by various positive and negative feedback mechanisms. Generally, negative feedback mechanisms control homeostatic mechanisms. In these systems, the net effect of the response is either reduced or shut off.
