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.

When the body reacts to stop or work in the opposite direction of a stimulus is it known as negative feedback or positive feedback?
negative feedback
What are the feedback mechanisms that regulate hormone levels in the body?
Positive and negative feedback
Explain would the formation of a goiter be positive or negative feedback?
Negative.
Is Oxytocin release a positive or negative feedback control mechanism?
positive
How does positive feedback maintain cellular homeostasis?
Perhaps you don't understand the meaning of positive and negative feedback. Positive feedback keeps adding to a process. Negative feedback doesn't. If a person fills a bathtub, positive feedback will continue the filling even if it runs over. Negative feedback will turn the water off when the tub is filled. So, negative feedback maintains homeostasis. Homeostasis means "steady state". When a processes is completed, it turns it off. Example: Blood sugar levels remain in a certain range.
Are contractions in the uterus a process regulated by negative or positive feedback?
Uterine contractions are one of the few physiologic process regulated by positive feedback.
Is blood regulated by negative or positive feedback?
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-
Is blood pressure negative or positive feedback?
Is the clotting of blood an example of positive or negative feedback?
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.
What would happen if your thermoregulation temperature control used a positive feedback to maintain homeostasis?
you will die
Is urinating a negative feedback?
No it is positive feedback
Definition of negative feedback and positive feedback?
A: Any feedback that contributes to the input is positive feedback any feedback that subtract from the input is negative feedback
Is contractions during childbirth positive or negative feedback?
Positive feedback.
Oxygen loading a positive of negative feedback process?
oxygen loading is a positive feedback response
Describing what is feedback system and differentiating between positive and negative feedback?
when a woman's contractions speed up during labor is negative or positive feedback
Are positive feedback and negative feedback both components of homeostasis?
No, negative feedback is the primary homeostatic mechanism regulating the endocrine system. Positive feedback is used much less frequently.
