GRADE 12 SATURDAY LESSON FOR

27/04/2024:
TOPIC: NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
MECHANISM: REGULATION OF
GLUCOSE, CARBON DIOXIDE, WATER,
SALT, TEMPERATURE AND THYROXIN
 LESSON OBJECTIVES
Learners should at the end be able to:
• Describe how negative feedback mechanism takes place to regulate each of the following
in the body:
 Thyroxin levels
 Blood glucose levels
 Blood carbon dioxide levels
 Water balance (osmoregulation)
 Salt
• State the role of the following factors in negative feedback mechanism for controlling
temperature/thermoregulation:
• Sweating
• Vasodilation
• Vasoconstriction
