LaoThermoregulation in humans is primarily regulated through negative feedback systems. When the body temperature deviates from the set point, feedback mechanisms initiate responses to bring it back to the normal range. For example, if body temperature rises, sweating and vasodilation help cool the body, and if body temperature falls, shivering and vasoconstriction help generate heat.

sensory receptor
How does positive feedback maintain cellular homeostasis?
Perhaps you don't understand the meaning of positive and negative feedback. Positive feedback keeps adding to a process. Negative feedback doesn't. If a person fills a bathtub, positive feedback will continue the filling even if it runs over. Negative feedback will turn the water off when the tub is filled. So, negative feedback maintains homeostasis. Homeostasis means "steady state". When a processes is completed, it turns it off. Example: Blood sugar levels remain in a certain range.
What are two types of feedback mechanisms found in living organisms?
Positive feedback amplifies a response in the same direction, such as the release of oxytocin during childbirth. Negative feedback regulates a response by counteracting changes, like temperature regulation in the body.
