Summary Introduction

To explain:

In what way the positive feedback is helpful in blood clotting but not in thermoregulation of the body.

Introduction:

The homeostasis is maintained by the various feedback mechanisms in the body of an individual. The feedback system comprises of both the negative and positive feedback mechanisms that all provide stability to the body of the organism.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Why is positive feedback helpful in blood clotting but unsuitable for the regulation of body temperature, as with a fever?
Why do positive feedback systems that are part of a  normal physiological response include some mechanism  that terminates the system?
Why does body temperature increases when blood vessel dilation is decreases?
