The scenario you described is an example of negative feedback. In this context, when blood glucose levels rise, the body responds by releasing insulin to lower those levels, creating feedback that counteracts the initial change (the increase in blood glucose). Negative feedback mechanisms are essential for maintaining homeostasis in the body.
When glucose levels in the blood rise, your brain sends a signal to your pancreas. The pancreas releases insulin, which opens channels in cell membranes to allow glucose to enter the cell, lowering blood sugar levels. (2 points)
