Detailed explanation-1: -A positive feedback loop in the endocrine system is when release of a hormone initiates actions that lead to an additional release of that hormone. Unlike a negative feedback loop, a positive one is not looking to reach homeostasis (stability).
Detailed explanation-2: -: feedback that tends to magnify a process or increase its output.
Detailed explanation-3: -Negative feedback keeps the concentration of a hormone within a relatively narrow range and maintains homeostasis. Very few endocrine hormones are regulated by positive feedback loops. Positive feedback causes the concentration of a hormone to become increasingly higher.
Detailed explanation-4: -Positive and negative feedback mechanisms are two different types of feedback mechanisms. Positive feedback stimulates and increases hormone secretion. Negative feedback stops and inhibits the hormone from being produced.
