    Negative feedback in living organisms Negative feedback is a principle which is used by the body in order to return systems to its normal level; it does this by turning the corrective measures off. Homeostasis uses the principle of negative feedback in order to maintain a constant internal environment. There are a number of different examples of negative feedback such as thermoregulation‚ regulation of blood glucose and the regulation of water potential. The control of the heartbeat can also use
