Negative Feedback

In order that an equilibrium be maintained, negative feedback loops respond to change in order to bring conditions back to their original state. The way the Human body deals with the intake of sugar is a great example of this. Insulin is produced and the Sugar is metabolized to bring back sugar levels to the original constant. The Y axis of the graph above measures sugar content in the blood and the X axis is displaying time. Notice the trend over time to regain equilibrium.
