Answer is Feedback mechanism.
Feedback loops are important because they allow living organisms to maintain homeostasis.
Feedback mechanism is the mechanism of the body to maintain the levels of hormones in the body in the desired limits. An increase or decrease in the levels of the hormones triggers the feedback mechanism. The body has two types of feedback mechanisms, positive and negative feedback mechanism.
Positive feedback amplifies system output, resulting in growth or decline. Negative feedback dampers output, stabilizes the system around an equilibrium point.
