Answer:

Positive feedback is used to build more contractions.

Explanation:

Positive feedback mechanism in humans is also observed during childbirth which is induced by the pressing of the ovarian wall by the baby.

The pressing sensation is passed to the brain via different nerves, and in response, the brain stimulates the pituitary to produce oxytocin.

Oxytocin is responsible for the contractions of the uterine muscles which cause the movement of the fetus towards the cervix, further increasing the stimulus.  

The positive feedback loop continues until the baby is born.

which disease is caused when there isn't enough bile to breakdown fat and oil in food . And how is it caused​
N76 [4]

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) causes problems in how you digest food. Your pancreas doesn't make enough of the enzymes that your body needs to break down and absorb nutrients. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in your body. The enzymes made by your pancreas move into your small intestine, where they help break down the food you eat. When you have EPI, you don't get the nutrition you need because your body can't absorb fats and some vitamins and minerals from foods. You might lose weight or have pain in your belly.
