He was rushed to a nearby hospital where it has been assessed that he lost a significant amount of blood as a result of the incident. The initial intervention was given to control bleeding but was assessed of decreasing blood pressure and an increased heart rate. Following blood transfusion, an increase in the patient’s blood pressure, and a decrease in his heart rate were observed. 1. Is the situation related to a negative- or positive-feedback mechanism? Explain. 2. Identify and explain
