Antagonistic mechanisms control homeostatic regulation

Question

How can antagonistic mechanisms control homeostatic regulation?

Answer 1

Homeostatic maintenance of the body mostly takes place by means of alternating antagonistic compensatory mechanisms. There are regulators which lower pH and others which raise it, there are effectors whose function is to raise the body temperature and others which lower it, hormones exists that, example, decrease the level of glucose in blood and others that raise the glycemic level. The use of antagonistic mechanisms is an approach found by the evolution to solve the problem of maintenance of body equilibrium.
