Chapter 17, Problem 3AAATB
Summary Introduction
To describe:
A non biological example of the positive and the negative feedback.
Introduction:
The feedback can be of two types positive and negative. The positive feedback is a feedback in which the products enhance the procedure by which the product is formed, resulting in further formation of the products. The negative feedback is the system by which the products inhibit the process of formation of product and result in decreased formation of product.

- Explain how homeostasis is maintained (use the term feedback loop, stimulus, response, effector, sensor, control center and set point )arrow_forwardPositive feedback processes invloves : a) Work in anticipation of changes in regulated variable b) Lead to instability of the regulated variable. c) Tend to force physiological variables back to set point, opposite direction of deviation d) Ten to force physiological variables away from their set point, further deviating itarrow_forwardIn discussions of feedback in biological systems, negativefeedback is typically emphasized, and positive feedback is oftentreated as an anomaly. In fact, positive feedback is common inreproductive physiology. List two or three examples of positivefeedback. Explain how positive feedback functions to advantagein each case. If possible, discuss whether homeostasis is alwaysideal.arrow_forward
