Describe
negative feedback. (pg 11) It causes a reduction or increase in the amount of a certain
substance; increases when you want more; it causes the variable to change
direction opposite to that of the initial change, returning it to its
ideal value.
If negative
feedback were operating in the body (which it usually is for most processes)
and NaCl concentration is lowered, the body would raise the NaCl in
response. (pg 13)
If positive
feedback was operating in the body (which it usually is not for most
processes), and the NaCl concentration is lowered, the body would lower the NaCl. (pg 13) Childbirth
