Answer: Positive feedback loop

Explanation:

Even before the food reaches the stomach (before ingesting it), the glands of the stomach mucosa begin to release its gastric secretion. The main characteristic of this secretion is acidity, as measured by pH (one of the physiological variables).

This acidity is a result of the presence of hydrochloric acid, which is part of the secretion composition. In addition to it, water, pepsinogen (which will give rise to the enzyme pepsin) and the intrinsic factor. The acid has a function of the protection of the entire system by eliminating microorganisms. It is also responsible for the activation of pepsin (which only occurs with acid pH), the enzyme that digests proteins containing the amino acids leucine or phenylalanine or tryptophan or tyrosine.

The concept of Positive feedback loop states that the body tries to increase the value of a variable (acidity, in the case of pepsinogen) when it is below its optimal value (called a point adjustment) and decreases this value when it is above optimal.

Receptors that are especially important for helping a person maintain balance are located in the (A) gyrus cinguli (B) inner ear
Lera25 [3.4K]

The receptors that aid in allowing a person to maintain balance are located within the inner ear.

The human ability to walk upright without falling, and a wide variety of other tasks that we perform as all thanks to our ability to maintain balance. This ability is given to us by structures located deep within the inner ear.

The inner ear is located deep within the lateral side of the head. This ear contains 3 semicircular canals or ducts, which are tiny structures filled with liquid. Each of these canals has an expansion at its end known as the ampulla, which holds within it the very small cellular balance receptors called crista.
