Positive And Negative Feedback
Positive and negative feedback are mechanisms the body uses to return to homeostasis. Positive feedback involves exaggerating the body's response, while negative feedback more directly works to restore normal conditions. Examples of negative feedback include perspiration and shivering, which help regulate body temperature back to normal levels.
