Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Feedback mechanism : Mechanism by which the amount of any chemical increases or decreases resulting in secretion of the related hormone.
Example: When sugar level rises, insulin secretion increases. When sugar level falls, insulin secretion reduces.
Detailed Answer:
Feedback mechanism of horronic regulation is the mechanism to control the timing and amount of hormone released so that they are secreted in precise quantities. If the sugar levels in blood rise, they are detected by the cells of the pancreas which respond by producing more insulin. As the blood sugar level falls, insulin secretion is reduced.
