Thermoregulation relies on negative feedback. Negative feedback works to return a system to homeostasis by reducing a stimulus, such as a change in temperature. By contrast, positive feedback systems amplify or speed up a response.

negative feedback via baroreceptors in the carotid artery and aortic arch


Is blood pressure regulated by positive or negative feedback?

Aldosterone is both responsible for absorption of sodium and excretion of potassium. If it is regulated by the level of potassium in blood, then we have negative feedback as high levels of aldosterone causes a decrease in potassium level in blood. If it is regulated by the level of sodium in blood, the story is just the opposite and we have positive feedback. -my own conclusion from several researches-


Positive feedback differs from negative feedback in that?

Most of the mechanisms in our body are regulated by negative feedback inhibition. In this type of process, the end product shuts off or reduces the intensity of the original stimulus. Production of certain hormones when mother is giving birth to a child is regulated by positive feedback inhibition. In this type of process, response leads to an even greater response.

Is contractions during childbirth positive or negative feedback?

Positive feedback.


Feedback is when the body reacts in the same direction as a stimulus. Negative Positive?

Feedback can be both negative and positive. Negative feedback occurs when the body's response counteracts the stimulus, helping to maintain homeostasis. Positive feedback amplifies the stimulus, leading to a larger response.

What kind of feed back loops?

Feedback loops can be categorized into two main types: positive feedback loops and negative feedback loops. Positive feedback loops amplify changes or reinforce a process, leading to an increase in the output or effect, such as in population growth. In contrast, negative feedback loops counteract changes, promoting stability and homeostasis within a system, such as in thermoregulation in the human body. Both types are essential for understanding various systems, including ecological, biological, and technological contexts.
