==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Negative feedback''' is a process used in [[homeostasis]] that reduces something when it is too high and raises it when it is too low.
===About Negative Feedback===
: '''Negative feedback''' is used in [[thermoregulation]]. When the [[Body Temperature|body temperature]] gets too low the body responds by trying to increase its [[temperature]]. When the [[Body Temperature|body temperature]] gets too high the body responds by trying to reduce its [[temperature]].
: '''Negative feedback''' is used in [[Blood Glucose Regulation|blood glucose regulation]]. When the [[concentration]] of [[glucose]] in the [[blood]] gets too high the body acts to reduce the [[concentration]]. When the [[concentration]] of [[glucose]] in the [[blood]] gets too low the body acts to increase the [[concentration]].
