Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Whether the feedback system is positive or negative during the blood clotting process.
Introduction:
The homeostasis is the tendency of the body of a living organism to maintain the relatively balanced or stable internal environment, even though the external environment changes continuously. The components or factors like receptor, control center, effector, and feedback are components of homeostasis that bring about the changes involved in maintaining the internal environment of an organism.

Describe a positive feedback mechanism that operatesduring blood clotting.
Scenario: You and your two other friends were hiking and along the trail, you saw a man who is unconscious, with blood oozing from his head. How should you deal with this situation?a. What is the first thing that you should do?
A pharmaceutical company develops an artificial red blood cell that is very effective at transporting oxygen but unable to transport carbon dioxide. Explain what would happen in the blood vessels if this substance were used in a blood transfusion. How would this affect the recipient (Assume the transfusion has no effect on the level of plasma in the blood)?
