No, positive feedback is rare, compared to negative feedback. This is because negative feedback is a self regulating cycle, so think of the regulation of heartbeats, breathing and amount of erythrocytes in the blood. The reason positive feedback doesn't occur that often is because it is not self regulating, the action of the cycle carry's on with the system. An example would be hypothermia. When your body goes below 37 degrees C, you will start to shiver to work up, if this does not work, your metabolic processes will start to slow down, you will become sleep, lethargic and lacking of energy, hence making it extremely difficult to bring heat back into the system to warm it up. Thus, the positive feedback can be a destructive mechanism. The easiest way to sum it up is that negative feedback is common as it tries to put a system back to its original equilibrium, positive feedback is rare because it is trying to make a new point for equilibrium. Hope this helps.

Feedback is when the body reacts in the same direction as a stimulus. Negative Positive?
Your statement is for positive feedback.
When the body changes an internal condition back to it's normal state it is called feedback?
Positive Feedback c:
Is it impossible to keep your body chemistry in balance without some sort of negative feedback mechanism?
No you need negative feedback!
What is a control mechanism that responds to a stimulus by decreasing its intensity called?
There are two kinds of feedback in the control of the body. Negative feedback occurs when a change happens in the body that makes the body beyond it's homeostatic level. Negative feedback reverses those changes and returns the body back to it's normal stage. Positive feedback occurs to temporarily amplify or enforce the change that is occurring. This process causes a number of increases until a signal is sent to the brain to stop the process.
When body temperature rises a center in the brain initiates physiological changes to decrease the body temperature is an example of negative feedback or positive feedback?
This is a very good example of negative feedback.
What is a positive feedback mechanismin the human body?
Homeostatis
What is A process in the body that causes conditions to move away from the normal state?
Positive feedback mechanism.
What type of feedback mechanism does your body have to detect this imbalance?
your blood pressure is the feedback mechanism
Feedback is when the body reacts in the same direction as a stimulus. Negative Positive?
Your statement is for positive feedback.
When the body changes an internal condition back to it's normal state it is called feedback?
Positive Feedback c:
What is the body's primary mechanism of homeostatic regulation?
The body's primary mechanism of homeostatic regulation is negative feedback. This mechanism recognizes the problem, identifies the correction, and changes the variable.
What are the feedback mechanisms that regulate hormone levels in the body?
Positive and negative feedback
Is it impossible to keep your body chemistry in balance without some sort of negative feedback mechanism?
No you need negative feedback!
What is an example of a negative feedback in human body?
example of negative feedback example of negative feedback
Which feedback stimulates your body to respond in the same direction as a stimulus positive or negative?

Feedback mechanism are best described as processes that help?
Feedback mechanisms keep body conditions near a normal, steady state
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
