Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive feedback mechanisms are typically associated with unhealthy conditions because they tend to amplify a deviation from normal function, potentially leading to harmful or unstable conditions. For example, in the case of a fever, the body's temperature continues to rise without the usual negative feedback mechanisms that would restore balance. Healthy individuals rely more on negative feedback mechanisms to maintain homeostasis.
