Components of a negative feedback reflex loop

Summary edit

Description
English: Components of a negative feedback loop. The minimal components are shown on the left side. The right side of the figure shows the insulin-dependent negative feedback control of plasma glucose levels. An increase in plasma glucose levels is detected (sensed) by beta cells in the pancreas, which secrete insulin in response to this. In this example the beta cell is both the sensor and the evaluator. The increase in insulin levels then acts to reduce plasma glucose levels by promoting glucose transport from plasma into tissue.
