Negative Feedback
By Eric Babcock
Negative feedback maintains conditions within limits. If a change or slight deveation occurs from normal is detected, a sensor or control valve brings the organ back to normal. Negative feedback is like a thermostat bringing to one point then backing down to a set point to maintain normal.
Negative feedback needs three things: Receptor, control center and effector. For example to help with pH blood vessels in the receptor monitor pH which then measure resistance of blood flow against the walls in turn monitor blood pressure.
