Compare and contrast how positive and negative feedback mechanisms are
used to maintain homeostasis. Use these concepts to describe: The

, maintenance of blood glucose levels: - CORRECT ANSWER-The control of
blood sugar (glucose) by insulin is another good example of a negative feedback
mechanism. When blood sugar rises, receptors in the body sense a change. In
turn, the control center (pancreas) secretes insulin into the blood effectively
lowering blood sugar levels. Once blood sugar levels reach homeostasis, the
pancreas stops releasing insulin.

Compare and contrast how positive and negative feedback mechanisms are
used to maintain homeostasis. Use these concepts to describe: The release of
platelets to form blood clots: - CORRECT ANSWER-once a vessel is damaged,

platelets. The platelets continue to pile up and release chemicals until a clot is
formed.
