Explain the concept of negative feedback and how it helps to maintain homeostasis. - ANSWER-
1- The effect or increased level of the hormone acts to shut down the con!nued release of the
hormone. 2- The brain is constantly monitoring hormone levels to keep levels within a certain
range or set-point (homeostasis). Nega!ve feedback is a way of "turning off" hormone produc!on
when the desired level is achieved
4. Explain the concept of positive feedback. Give an example of a hormone that works through
positive feedback. - ANSWER- 1- Positive feedback is the action of a hormone increasing the
production of that hormone. (This is the opposite of negative feedback). 2- One example is the
action of oxytocin causing the uterus to contract during labor. Oxytocin enhances the effect of the
uterus contractions, causing more oxytocin to be released. The positive feedback loop is stopped
once the baby is born and the uterus no longer needs to contract, stopping the production of
oxytocin.
