How does the feedback mechanism regulate hormone secretion?
(N/A) The feedback mechanism regulates the timing and amount of hormone to be secreted.
For example,if a person has high blood sugar levels,this is detected by the cells of the pancreas.
As a result,more insulin is secreted to facilitate the uptake and metabolism of glucose.
Conversely,if blood sugar levels are low,the secretion of insulin is reduced to prevent hypoglycemia.
