Question
how is negative feedback related to homeostasis?
Negative feedback is a mechanism that counteracts changes. In homeostasis (the body's stable internal environment), when a variable (like temperature or glucose) deviates, negative feedback triggers responses to reverse that deviation. For example, if body temperature rises, sweating cools the body (negative feedback) to maintain homeostasis.

Negative feedback is a key mechanism in homeostasis. It detects deviations from the body's stable internal state (homeostasis), initiates responses to counteract those deviations, and helps restore the body to its balanced state.
