Negative Feedback in Hormone Regulation

Video not yet published
to the StudyWalks catalog
State

Hormone production and release are primarily controlled by negative feedback, per Bio 2749, where a rising level inhibits the signaling that produced it, keeping concentration in a narrow range.

Show

Rising thyroid hormone feeds back to inhibit the hypothalamus and pituitary, reducing further TSH signaling.

Watch for

Negative feedback dominates hormone regulation as it dominates other systems — positive feedback, per Bio 2751, stays rare.
