Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
For the endocrine system, The relatively constant internal environment of the body is maintained by
A
negative feedback mechanism
B
positive feedback mechanism
C
metabolism
D
peripheral nervous system
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis is the tendency to resist change in order to maintain a stable, relatively constant internal environment. Homeostasis typically involves negative feedback loops that counteract changes of various properties from their target values, known as set points.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is a negative feedback mechanism? A negative feedback loop is one way that the endocrine system tries to keep homeostasis (stability) in the body. If an endocrine gland senses that there is too much of one hormone in the body, it will initiate changes to decrease production of that hormone.

Detailed explanation-3: -The major endocrine systems are regulated by negative feedback, a process believed to maintain hormonal levels within a relatively narrow range. Positive feedback is often thought to have a destabilizing effect.

Detailed explanation-4: -The thyroid gland is regulated by a negative feedback loop. The loop includes the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in addition to the thyroid. Here’s how thyroid regulation works.

Detailed explanation-5: -The endocrine system is regulated by negative feedback mechanisms that work to maintain homeostasis. The concentration of hormones, and how they effect other body systems, are controlled in this manner.
