Feedforward regulation allows the CNS to anticipate the need for changes in physiological set points, whereas feedback regulation responds to changes that have already occurred. Both types of regulation can be either stimulatory or inhibitory and are involved in homeostatic regulation. However, choice A and E are incorrect as they suggest that feedforward regulation is always stimulatory and that only feedback regulation is involved in homeostatic regulation.
