Questions and Answers

What type of system is operating when the response reverses the stimulus?

  • Equilibrium feedback system
  • Positive feedback system
  • Negative feedback system (correct)
  • Stimulus feedback system

How does a system operate by positive feedback?

  • By enhancing or intensifying the stimulus (correct)
  • By reversing the stimulus
  • By maintaining equilibrium
  • By remaining within certain narrow limits

What happens if a component of the body loses its ability to contribute to homeostasis?

  • Homeostasis is maintained efficiently
  • The body becomes resistant to diseases
  • Normal balance among all processes is disturbed (correct)
  • The body stays healthy
