When blood glucose levels rise...such regulation of blood glucose levels is an example of?

Question

When blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas secretes insulin and as a result blood glucose levels decline. When blood glucose levels are low, the pancreas secretes glucagons and as a result the blood glucose levels rise. Such regulation of blood glucose levels is an example of

a) feedforward mechanism

b) positive feedback

c) negative feedback

d) feedback inhibition

e) both c and d

I think the answer is b) positive feedback, but I'm not sure. Please help me :) thanks!

Answer 1

Its A , feedforward  mechanisms requires action on the part of the system, to suppress or compensate the effect of the fluctuation.

Answer 2

It should be C.

It falls under the principles of homeostasis:

stimulus (receptor), set point, effector, negative feedback. The control center determines an appropriate response to the stimulus. The result of that response feeds to the effector, either enhancing it with positive feedback or depressing it with negative feedback.

Hence the regulation of blood glucose level is via negative feedback because the feedback produces an opposite effect to the change.
