Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hormone 2 from the endocrine target gland is responsible for negative feedback in a typical regulation pattern of endocrine secretion. This hormone signals the hypothalamus and/or pituitary gland to reduce or stop the production and release of the initiating hormones, thereby regulating the levels of hormones in the body.
