maintain homeostasis. 2- The brain is constantly monitoring hormone
levels to keep levels within a certain range or set-
point (homeostasis). Nega!ve feedback is a way of
"turning off" hormone produc!on when the desired
level is achieved

feedback. Give an example of a increasing the production of that hormone. (This is
hormone that works through positive the opposite of negative feedback). 2- One
feedback. example is the action of oxytocin causing the
uterus to contract during labor. Oxytocin enhances
the effect of the uterus contractions, causing more
oxytocin to be released. The positive feedback
loop is stopped once the baby is born and the
uterus no longer needs to contract, stopping the
production of oxytocin.
