Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Feedforward regulatory processes work in anticipation of changes in regulated variables, allowing physiological systems to respond in advance and maintain homeostasis. This is different from positive feedback processes, which amplify changes and can lead to instability. Maximizing fluctuations and forcing variables away from their set point would also work against homeostasis.
