Low body temperature triggers adaptive responses to conserve heat.Once the integrating center detects that body temperature has risen,it will decrease these responses.What does this exemplify?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given statement describes a negative feedback loop, where the response to a change in a physiological variable (low body temperature) leads to a reversal of that change (conserving heat). Once the variable (body temperature) returns to the set point, the response stops. This is a characteristic of negative feedback mechanisms, which are essential in maintaining homeostasis in the body.
