What is a good example of a negative feedback loop?

dik Not sure what they mean by that but... A good example of a positive feedback loop is the increased production of insulin by our pancreas. After a meal we may have heightened blood sugar levels. The endocrine system triggers insulin production in the pancreas to counteract this rise and return our blood sugar levels back to normal. Once normality has been reached the endocrine system signals our pancreas to cease the production and release of insulin. Actually, that is an example of a negative feedback loop. Negative feedback loops negate an action, while positive feedback loops encourage it. An example of a Positive feedback loop is childbirth, the body increases the amount of oxytocin in the blood to encourage contractions in order to birth the baby.

What is the difference between positive feedback and negative feedback?

Positive feedback speeds up reactions while negative feedback slows them down. Positive feedback goes with the force that put the body out of homeostasis in order to get it over faster. For example, during childbirth, the body goes with it in order to get it over faster so that the body can return to homeostasis. On the other hand, negative feedback opposes the action. For example if your body temperature drops, your receptors in your body send a message to your brain to tell it your cold. Your brain then sends a message to your muscles to shiver to help warm you up.


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 an example of negative feedback because the body is working to reverse the initial change in order to restore homeostasis. When the body temperature rises, the brain triggers responses such as sweating and vasodilation to help cool down the body and bring the temperature back to the normal range.
