Grounding terminals are used to connect the electrical equipment or wiring system to the Earth. It's purpose is to reduce the risk of electrical shock in the event of a fault current. In most homes, the wiring system is permanently grounded to a metal pipe that connects to an underground water-supply system or to a metal rod that has been driven into the ground.

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-


What does a positive connection between two parts mean?
