rewatch
Negative feedback is a regulatory mechanism that works to maintain homeostasis. In the context of blood glucose levels, when blood glucose rises (e.g., after a meal), insulin is released to lower it. When blood glucose is too low, glucagon is released to raise it. This is a classic example of negative feedback as it counteracts changes to keep the internal environment (blood glucose level) stable. Positive feedback amplifies a change (e.g., during childbirth contractions) rather than maintaining stability.
