When a person is cut, the injured tissue initially releases chemical signals into the bloodstream. These chemicals signal platel
ets to be attracted to the injured area. if this is a positive feedback mechanismwhich of the following must be part of the process? The heart would slow down to cause a drop in blood pressure. Platelets would release signals to stimulate the production of more platelets. Blood vessels around the cut would constrict to decrease the surface area exposed to the platelets. Chemical signals released would cause a decline in platelet production
Platelets would release signals to stimulate the production of more platelets
Explanation:
Positive feedback mechanism is one of the two types of feedback mechanisms (other being negative feedback mechanism) in which the products of a process stimulates more of that product to be synthesized or produced. In other words, the result of a reaction increases the secretion of more results.
In this case where the injured tissue of a cut initially releases chemical signals into the bloodstream. These chemicals signal platelets to be attracted to the injured area. However, if this is a positive feedback mechanism as explained above, Platelets would release signals to stimulate the production of more platelets.
