Detailed explanation-1: -Most endocrine hormones are regulated by negative feedback loops. Negative feedback keeps the concentration of a hormone within a relatively narrow range and maintains homeostasis.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a negative feedback mechanism, high levels of a hormone turn off further release of that hormone. This usually occurs in a stepwise pattern: the high concentration of the hormone signals back through the system to turn off production of the hormone or hormones that stimulated its release.
Detailed explanation-3: -The endocrine system maintains homeostasis through a series of feedback loops, the most important of which are controlled by the hypothalamus interacting with the pituitary gland . Often, the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete an activating hormone to another gland.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most hormone feedback mechanisms involve negative feedback loops. Negative feedback keeps the concentration of a hormone within a narrow range. But oxytocin regulation involve positive feedback loops. The release of oxytocin feeds back to increase more oxytocin production and release.
