Question

Blood pressure decreases and a body system responds in a way that causes the blood pressure to decrease even more. Which of the following would fit this statement the BEST?

A) Homeostasis
B) Negative feedback
C) Positive feedback
D) Regulation

Answer 1

C. Positive Feedback

This is because a response to a stimulus( low blood pressure) acts in the same direction as the stimulus ( even lower blood pressure).

This is opposed to negative feedback where the response would go in the operate direction of the stimulus ( I.e. blood pressure increasing in response to low blood pressure)
