On a cold day, a person's body temperature begins to drop. The cold stimulates this person's brain cells. The brain cells send a signal to other cells that release a hormone that starts a biochemical pathway. This increases the metabolic activity of the cells of the person's body. The increased cellular activity produces heat. This heat helps restore this person's normal body temperature. When the body temperature is normal, the brain cells stop sending a signal.

A positive feedback loop
A cause-effect feedback loop
A negative feedback loop
A neutral feedback loop
