Which of the following is NOT an example of negative feedback
control?
A.
increased heart rate to get blood to the brain, after standing up
quickly and nearly falling down from dizziness
B.
after eating a massive amount of sugar, your body takes
glucose into the cells to lower blood glucose levels
C.
,at delivery, the head of the fetus presses on the cervix, which
sends a stimulus to the brain, which tells the pituitary gland to
release oxytocin, which travels in the blood to the uterus and
causes increased pressure, which sends signals to the brain and
causes the release of more oxytocin
