How do endocrine glands help in maintaining feedback control?
Answers
The endocrine system depends on feedback system in order to regulate the production of hormones and their secretion. There are two types of feedback system – Negative feedback and Positive feedback.
Negative Feedback - The endocrine glands are usually under the negative feedback control which prevents deviation from the ideal mean value, in order to maintain homeostasis. Eg. Regulation of Thyroxine, a thyroid hormone which regulates many key metabolic processes.
Positive Feedback – These mechanisms promote deviation from the mean ideal value, which controls many self-perpetuating events like childbirth. They are less common than the negative feedback events. Eg. The oxytocin hormone, which is produced by the posterior pituitary gland helps in stimulating and enhancing the contractions during labor.
