Homeostasis and feedback · Physiology

Feedforward control differs from feedback control because it:

  1. Responds only after a disturbance has already occurred
  2. Does not involve any sensory receptors
  3. Anticipates changes before they occur
  4. Always directly opposes the initial stimulus
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Anticipates changes before they occur

Feedforward mechanisms act in anticipation of a change. They reduce the magnitude of disturbances before they affect homeostasis.
