Chapter 1.4, Problem 15AYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The two examples showing the mechanism of positive feedback, which can be harmful to the body and not harmful to the body.
Introduction:
Positive feedback mechanism involves the production of an increased response in deviation from a setpoint or original stimulus. This response is generally produced so that homeostasis can be restored.

Students have asked these similar questions
Explain how positive feedback differs from negativefeedback.
Because the body's goal is to maintain stable, homeostatic conditions, positive feedback occurs more often than negative feedback.
True or False
Identify if the statement is True or False. If the statement is false, identify what is incorrect and correct it.
The Endocrine system secretes regulatory hormones important for growth, reproduction and metabolism. The digestive system breaks down food, allows for nutrient absorption into blood and eliminates indigestible materials
Extrinsic regulation results from activity of nervous system or endocrine system. In positive feedback the initial stimulus produces a response that reinforces the stimulus
