Homeostasis and feedback · Physiology

In endocrine regulation, negative feedback typically occurs when:

  1. A hormone stimulates its own continued secretion
  2. Target gland hormones inhibit upstream release
  3. Neural input ceases
  4. Receptors become permanently and irreversibly activated
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Target gland hormones inhibit upstream release

Target gland hormones feed back to inhibit hypothalamic or pituitary secretion. This stabilizes hormone levels.
