Feedback 1/23/15
Negative feedback is a reaction that
causes a decrease in function. It occurs
in response to some kind of stimulus.
Often it causes the output of a system to
be lessened; so, the feedback tends to
stabilize the system.
WORD WALL
Positive feedback enhances the original
stimulus. An example of a positive
feedback mechanism is blood clotting.
Once a vessel is damaged, platelets
start to cling to the injured site and
release chemicals that attract more
platelets. The platelets continue to pile
up and release chemicals until a clot is
formed.
