What is Feedback Mechanism?
is the method used
by the endocrine system to regulate the
level of hormones in the blood
Feedback Mechanisms help to…
maintain homeostasis
How does the feedback mechanism work?
endocrine glands monitor the amount of hormones in the blood
If a certain hormone level is too low or too high, then the nervous system brings this information to the pituitary gland
Then the endocrine system
adjusts the amount of hormones
being made or released
