Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Hormones work on a system called the ____ feed back system.
A
negative
B
positive
C
alternating
D
automatice
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most hormones are controlled by negative feedback, in which the hormone feeds back to decrease its own production. This type of feedback brings things back to normal whenever they start to become too extreme. Positive feedback is much less common because it causes conditions to become increasingly extreme.

Detailed explanation-2: -An important example of a negative feedback loop is seen in control of thyroid hormone secretion. The thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine ("T4 and T3") are synthesized and secreted by thyroid glands and affect metabolism throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hormone production and release are primarily controlled by negative feedback. In negative feedback systems, a stimulus causes the release of a substance whose effects then inhibit further release. In this way, the concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within a narrow range.

Detailed explanation-4: -Positive and negative feedback mechanisms are two different types of feedback mechanisms. Positive feedback stimulates and increases hormone secretion. Negative feedback stops and inhibits the hormone from being produced.

Detailed explanation-5: -A negative feedback is a self-regulatory system in which it feeds back to the input a part of a system’s output so as to reverse the direction of change of the output. The process reduces the output of a system in order to stabilize or re-establish internal equilibrium.
