Homeostasis

Which of the following is an example of positive feedback?

• Thermoregulation

• Blood Pressure

• Childbirth

• Blood Sugar Levels

Homeostasis

• allows for a wildly fluctuating internal environment
• is impossible in vertebrates
• is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation
• is the maintenance of a relatively stable external environment and often incorporates a form of feedback regulation

When you get cut, your skin cells release hormones that signal platelets to come and stop the bleeding. Platelets then release more hormones that signal even more platelets to help stop bleeding. The hormone signals continue until the cut is closed.

• Positive Feedback Response
• Negative Feedback Loop
