      C. Low body temperature stimulates shivering

      Negative feedback mechanism is a physiologic response to detected change that opposes this change and returns the body to a ‘set normal’. When the weather is cold and body temps lower, shivering produces heat and raises the body temp back to its set normal.

      High blood sugar stimulates the pancreas to secrete glucagon (hormone that increases blood sugar) *POSITIVE FEEDBACK
      High blood sugar stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin(lowers blood sugar) *NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

      Low blood calcium stimulates calcitonin (hormone that lowers blood calcium levels) secretion *POSITIVE FEEDBACK
      Low blood calcium stimulates parathyroid hormone (which mobilizes calcium from the bone & raises blood calcium back to norm) secretion *NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

      High blood volume stimulates antidiuretic hormone (ADH – increases blood volume) secretion *POSITIVE FEEDBACK
      Low blood volume stimulates ADH & ADH conserves fluid to return blood volume back to norm *NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
