Question
Chapter 1.6, Problem 16WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine: The difference in the positive and negative feedback of the homeostatic system.
Introduction
Homeostasis is the condition of the body in which the internal is regulated and maintained in a constant state at a given time. Homeostasis is controlled by a positive feedback mechanism or a negative feedback mechanism depending on the requirement of the body. A reaction's outcome is amplified to speed up its occurrence in a positive feedback loop, which increases the change or output. Negative feedback happens to lower or decrease the change taking place.

Students have asked these similar questions
In simple words, explain the role of feedback mechanism in maintaining homeostasis?
a) Negative feedback is used to maintain homeostasis whereas positive
feedback is not.
O b) Negative feedback is an involuntary reflex whereas positive feedback is not.
O) Positive feedback works to oppose a change whereas negative feedback
accelerates a change.
d) All of the above are true.
How does negative feedback assist in the maintenance of homeostasis?
