Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Homeostasis is maintained mostly by negative feedback, which involves a response that counteracts a change in a physiological function or condition to maintain stability (e.g. body temperature regulation). Positive feedback, in contrast, amplifies or enhances the change (e.g. contraction of uterus during childbirth). Positive feedback is not as commonly involved in homeostasis regulation.
