1. A feedback mechanism is a process through which the level of one substance influences the level of another substance. Positive feedback occurs when a response to a stimulus is increased, while negative feedback occurs when the response is decreased or reduced.
2. Blood clotting and childbirth contractions are examples of positive feedback, as they involve hormones like oxytocin that stimulate more of themselves in response to contractions. Regulating blood glucose levels is an example of negative feedback, as insulin absorption decreases in response to lower blood sugar levels.
3. Homeostasis refers to the stable internal environment maintained by feedback mechanisms that allow the body to respond to changes and return to normal conditions. The nervous system commands other systems like the end
