Question 3 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

Why is a negative feedback loop important?

Answer
A
It brings the body back to homeostasis whenever there are internal changes.
B
It keeps the body in a constant state of change to go beyond its set point.
C
It helps the body maintain an internal environment that matches the external environment.

Explanation

Negative feedback detects a change from the body's set point and triggers responses that reduce that change. This helps return conditions, such as body temperature or blood sugar, toward homeostasis. Choice A describes this role; negative feedback does not keep the body changing beyond its set point or make its internal environment match the outside environment.
