Describe if each of the following mechanisms is regulated by positive or
negative feedback.
neanive
1. When you are hot, you sweat and your blood vessels dilate.
As your body cools, you sweat less your blood vessels return to normal.
2. When blood clots, more and more platelets rush to the area
3. When a baby is born, the uterus contracts more often and
more forcefully until the baby is born.
4. Blood sugar is regulated by insulin. As blood
sugar returns
to normal, less insúlin is produced.
5.When you are cold, your blood vessels constrict and your
muscles shiver. As your body returns to normal, you cease shivering and your
blood vessels restore normal blood flow.
6.After pregnancy, the suckling of an infant causes an
increase in milk production.

“Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve the first three sub-parts for you. To get the remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved.”.

Feedback regulation is a response mechanism where the product of a pathway influences its own production. It can be positive or negative regulation. 

In positive regulation, the product positively influences production. In negative regulation, the product negatively affects or represses its own production.
