Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The two types of feedback systems that help organisms maintain homeostasis are:
A
positive and negative
B
receptor and effector
C
static and dynamic
D
minor and major
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Homeostasis typically involves negative feedback loops that counteract changes of various properties from their target values, known as set points. In contrast to negative feedback loops, positive feedback loops amplify their initiating stimuli, in other words, they move the system away from its starting state.

Detailed explanation-2: -Two Types of Homeostatic Feedback There are two types of feedback in homeostatic systems: negative and positive feedback. Each type of feedback promotes a change in the homeostatic system relative to the set point, but they each do this differently.

Detailed explanation-3: -Positive feedback occurs to increase the change or output: the result of a reaction is amplified to make it occur more quickly. Negative feedback occurs to reduce the change or output: the result of a reaction is reduced to bring the system back to a stable state.

Detailed explanation-4: -Homeostasis is maintained by negative feedback loops within the organism. In contrast, positive feedback loops push the organism further out of homeostasis, but may be necessary for life to occur.

Detailed explanation-5: -The feedback loop contains two major forms: (1) positive feedback and (2) negative feedback. They work to maintain body equilibrium under different conditions. Feedback loops are biological mechanisms in which the living body’s internal stability is maintained depending on its response.
