The endocrine system helps maintain homeostasis through positive feedback.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The endocrine system primarily regulates homeostasis through negative feedback, where a change in a physiological variable triggers a response to bring that variable back to its normal range. Positive feedback, where a change in a variable triggers a response that reinforces or amplifies that change, is less common in homeostasis regulation by the endocrine system.
