A

When

47
Q

Negative Feedback

A

this will cause it to work in the opposite direction of the stimulus. Variable maintained at a normal level called set point.

48
Q

Positive Feedback

A

This stimulus is reinforced to continue the same direction until a climatic event occurs (ex Breastfeeding) after an event occurs it returns back to homeostasis.
