A physiological negative feedback control system "negative feedbacks"

are what maintains homeostasis within the body that prevents against
exceeding normal ranges of differing variables that manage the body's
system.
An example of this would be body temperature. Exceeding the normal
temperature could, in extreme cases, lead to organ failure or death.

How It Works:
Stimulus:
An increase in Body Temperature
Receptor:
Detects change then sends signal to Control
Center
Control Center:
Comparing received signals to set point
( 37°C)
Effector:
If differing, it would then send to effectors
such as sweat glands, blood vessels
Response:
Responds to input i.e. Constricting/Dilation
of Blood vessels
Result:
Increases or Decreases the body
temperature depending on the situation
Negative Feedback Loop:
Stops inputs when return normal, and
maintain normal thermoregulation
