When you are cold, you shiver and your blood vessels contract, which warms you up. When you are hot, you sweat and your blood vessels expand, which cools you down.  

• Positive Feedback Response
• Negative Feedback Loop

When you need more oxygen, how would your circulatory system respond?

• more blood gets sent to the lungs & less to other parts of the body

• the blood vessels to the legs & arms expand to use oxygen

• blood vessels move more slowly through the organs to carry away more waste

• the heart beats faster to get more oxygenated blood to your organs
