What is FEEDBACK MECHANISM? FEEDBACK MECHANISM
• A thermostat is an example of a
negative feedback system.
THERMOSTAT - a device that
automatically regulates temperature
FEEDBACK MECHANISM 6
Room temp Set point

THERMOSTAT
Pancreas regulates the Glucose
level by secreting two
hormones – insulin and
glucagon
Increases
Glucose
Levels
(-)
Glucagon is released
Glucagon stimulates liver cells to
release glucose into the blood
Glucose and Insulin Negative Feedback Loop
• Two primary Hormones
Insulin Glucagon

POSITIVE FEEDBACK
A positive feedback loop occurs when the output of a
system acts to enhance the changes to the input of the
system.
EXAMPLE:
CHILD BIRTH
PITUITARY GLAND
the master gland that secretes hormone/s to the target
organ
OXYTOCIN
the hormone secreted by the pituitary
gland to the uterus
