An example of feedback is seen in blood clotting. Part of the complex biochemical pathway of clotting is the production of an enzyme that forms the
matrix of the blood clot, but also speeds up the production of still more thrombin. That is, it has a self-catalytic, self-accelerating effect, so that once the
clotting process begins, it runs faster and faster until, ideally, bleeding stops. Thus, this positive feedback loop is part of a larger negative feedback loop,
one that is activated by bleeding and ultimately works to stop the bleeding.
So ultimately in keeping homeostasis, which of the following is true:
This is a positive feedback loop
This is a negative feedback loop
