1. Reflex influences upon the centers of the brain and cord
Negative feedback loops have been compared to a thermostatically controlled temperature in a house, where the internal temperature is monitored by a temperature-sensitive gauge in the thermostat. If it is cold outside, eventually the internal temperature of the house drops, as cold air seeps in through the walls.

When the temperature drops below the point at which the thermostat is set, the thermostat turns on the furnace.

As the temperature within the house rises, the thermostat again senses this change and turns off the furnace when the internal temperature reaches the pre-set point.
Negative feedback loops require a receptor, a control center, and an effector.

A receptor is the structure that monitors internal conditions. For instance, the human body has receptors in the blood vessels that monitor the pH of the blood.

The blood vessels contain receptors that measure the resistance of blood flow against the vessel walls, thus monitoring blood pressure.

Receptors sense changes in function and initiate the body's homeostatic response.
