Question

Compare and contrast positive and negative feedback loops of the endocrine system. Provide a specific example of each, including which gland is responsible for the hormone related to that loop.

Answer 1

Explanation: An example of positive feedback is milk production by a mother for her baby. A negative feedback loop is one way that the endocrine system tries to keep homeostasis (stability) in the body. If an endocrine gland senses that there is too much of one hormone in the body, it will initiate changes to decrease production of that hormone.
