Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Negative feedback is referred as a type of regulation, where the end product of any procedure reduces the stimulus of the procedure. Thus, the body consists of its internal controller mechanisms to maintain the body's pH, temperature, blood sugar, hormones and many other things.

- How does the circulatorysystem participate in thefunctioning of the endocrinesystem?arrow_forwardWhich of these homeostatic mechanisms in the body are examplesof positive feedback, and which are examples of negative feedback?Why?a. The adrenal glands produce epinephrine in response to a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in times of stress; the pituitary gland senses the epinephrine in the blood and stopsproducing the hormone.b. As the bladder fills with urine, pressure sensors send messagesto the brain with increasing frequency, signaling that the bladdermust be emptied. The more the bladder fills, the more messagesare sent.c. When you drink an excess of water, specialized cells in yourbrain, as well as stretch receptors in your heart, detect theincrease in blood volume. Both signals are transmitted to thekidneys, which increase the production of urine.arrow_forward1. The pituitary gland is made of three lobes. The anterior lobe in larvae and young adults secretes the growth-stimulating hormones which in turn regulate growth and affects the function of the thyroid gland. In adults, it secretes the gonad stimulating hormone that is responsible for the release of ova and sperm from the ovary and testes, respectively. The intermediate lobe produces intermedin or the melanocyte-stimulating hormone, which regulates the behavior of the chromatophores in the skin. The posterior lobe secretes vasopressin or the antidiuretic hormone, which regulates water intake by the skin. 2. The pineal gland, located between the optic lobes and the anterior olfactory lobes, produces melatonin, a hormone that controls the Circadian rhythms and reproductive cycles. 3. The endocrine glands located outside the brain include the thyroid gland, pancreas, adrenal gland, and the gonads (testes and ovaries). The thyroid gland, located behind the hyoid cartilage, produces the…arrow_forward
