Which type of feedback (positive or negative) is used to maintain homeostasis? Use an
example to illustrate your answer.
Negative feedback is used to maintain homeostasis. An example is the maintenance of
blood sugar levels. If blood sugar rises, a hormone is released (insulin) that causes insulin
to be stored in tissues. Blood sugar is reduced, and the hormone is no longer released.

cavity, containing the stomach, most of the intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and
spleen, and the pelvic cavity, containing the urinary bladder, rectum, and internal
