negative feedback mechanism is one where the output causes a decrease in subsequent output a balancing loop. There are lots of negative feedback loops in the body as this is the way that most systems maintain homeostasis the ability or tendency of an organism or cell to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes. A negative loop could be hormone secretion. Hormone levels decrease so the body stimulates the organ to produce more. At a certain level‚ the body recognizes that
