the control centre that contains the set value points required for normal function. Effectors then take effect to control the deviation (Waterhouse 2004). See illustration below: [pic] The series of events occurring in a negative feedback loop system aim to return low or high set point deviations to normal perimeters through a series of events (Jones‚ 2001). In a few instances however the deviation is increased from the ideal value resulting in a positive feedback. This according to Jones (2001)
