positive feedback - CORRECT ANSWER- k k k k
the response by the effector to the initial change is to further exag
k k k k k k k k k k k k
gerate the change. Example in labor contractions, the contraction
k k k k k k k k
kof the uterus forces the baby towards the birth canal, which

...
Negative feedback - CORRECT ANSWER- k k k k
the response by the effector to the initial change is to counter or re

ate. Example When blood sugar level rises, the pancreas secrete
