Negative feedback occurs when a hormone or molecule inhibits its own production or secretion. In the case of the thyroid gland, thyroid hormone inhibits the secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) by the anterior pituitary gland. This is an example of negative feedback because the hormone (thyroid hormone) is inhibiting the secretion of the hormone that stimulates its own production (TSH). Choices A, C, and D do not accurately describe negative feedback in the thyroid gland.
