GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -If the hypothalamus detects that the body is too hot, the response is that the body begins to sweat to try and reduce the temperature back to the correct level. Once the body temperature is back to the correct level, sweating will stop.

Detailed explanation-2: -Another example of negative feedback is the regulation of the blood calcium level. The parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone, which regulates the level of calcium in the blood. If calcium decreases, the parathyroid glands sense the decrease and secrete more parathyroid hormone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thermoregulation is an example of negative feedback. The hypothalamus in the brain is the master switch that works as a thermostat to regulate the body’s core temperature (Figure 1).
