Negative Feedback Cycles - GCSE Biology

🦊 In this GCSE Biology video, we explain negative feedback as a crucial mechanism for maintaining stable conditions within the body, effectively responding to internal and external stimuli by initiating counteractive measures to restore balance. Examples include the regulation of body temperature through shivering or sweating and the control of blood glucose levels via insulin and glucagon production. This process ensures that various body conditions, such as water levels, glucose levels, thyroxine, and temperature, are kept within an optimum range, demonstrating how the body continuously adjusts to maintain homeostasis.
