Negative Feedback in Hormone Regulation

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Hormone production and release are primarily controlled by negative feedback, per Bio 2749, where a rising level inhibits the signaling that produced it, keeping concentration in a narrow range.

Show

Rising thyroid hormone feeds back to inhibit the hypothalamus and pituitary, reducing further TSH signaling.

Watch for

Negative feedback dominates hormone regulation as it dominates other systems — positive feedback, per Bio 2751, stays rare.
