Homeostasis and feedback · Physiology

Negative feedback differs from positive feedback because it:

  1. Amplifies the initial stimulus
  2. Has no control center
  3. Opposes the initial change
  4. Occurs only in disease states
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Opposes the initial change

Negative feedback counteracts deviations from a set point. This mechanism promotes stability by reducing the original stimulus.
