Summary Introduction

To determine:

The positive feedback mechanism with one physiological example.

Introduction:

Every organism body performs several chemical and physiological processes, throughout their body. These processes require optimum conditions for efficient working. These conditions are auto regulated by the body, by a process known as homeostasis. Feedback mechanism is one of the l mechanisms involved in “homeostasis”.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason why positive feedback is rare in the physiological processes.

Introduction:

Feedback mechanism is of two types: negative feedback and positive feedback. Negative feedback slows down the production rate and positive feedback accelerates the production rate.
