Feedback Loops

2. Positive

Feedback

1.Negative

Feedback

stops a

cycle

increases

a cycle

Parts of Endocrine System Regulated by Feedback Loops

Example of Negative Feedback in Body

high blood sugar levels

pancreas cells alerted

pancreas secretes insulin into blood

insulin allows cells to absorb sugar

blood sugar level drops

brain tells pancreas to stop releasing insulin

pancreases releases glucagon

glucagon releases sugar into blood

Example of Positive Feedback in Body

2. Collagen in vessels trap platelets in blood

3. Platelets release clotting factors in blood

1. Damaged blood vessel

4. Clotting factors cause more platelets to get trapped in collagen

5. Platelets release more clotting factors

6. Get a blood clot
