The Reproductive System The female and male reproductive systems share many similarities and many differences. . Each system has different parts‚ problems and care. Each system has different purposes‚ the male reproductive system’s function is to produce sperm‚ while the female reproductive system’s function is to produce ova‚ store ova and house a fertilized egg.

because the glucagon will bind to receptors in the liver starting the response. The glucose will then enter the blood stream thus increasing the blood glucose concentration. This will be detected by the pancreas which will then stop or decrease the secretion of glucagon; this is the negative feedback as now the internal environment has returned to the norm. The ability of humans being able to control the blood glucose levels is a benefit because many biological and chemical processes in the body need

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 there is too much and pulls back production the negative
