Negative Feedback Mechanisms

How does a negative feedback mechanism work?

Maintains variation within a normal range. When a change is detected, it works with the needed organs and systems to level the change back out. An example is change is blood pressure.

What are the three components of negative feedback mechanisms?

Receptor (monitors the value of a variable), control center (receives information about the variable from the receptor, establishes the set point, and controls the effector, and the effector (produces responses that change the value of a variable).
