Negative-Feedback Mechanisms

Question

Negative-feedback mechanisms:
A)minimize changes in blood glucose levels.
B)maintain homeostasis.
C)are responsible for an increased rate of sweating when air temperature is higher than body temperature.
D)All of the above are correct.

Accepted Answer

Negative-feedback mechanisms work to maintain homeostasis by minimizing changes in various physiological processes, including blood glucose levels and body temperature. In the case of sweating, negative-feedback mechanisms respond to an increase in air temperature by increasing sweat production to maintain body temperature. Therefore, all of the statements are correct.
