Summary Introduction
To determine:
Did the shot of epinephrine result in positive feedback mechanism occurring or negative feedback mechanism.
Concept introduction:
Carly was stung by a bee and was taken to the emergency room as her breathing and heart rate become more rapid. The doctors gave her a shot of epinephrine to reduce the allergic reactions which resulted in normal breathing and heart rate.

Which of the following is an example of a negative feedback loop? a) shivering in response to a cold b)platelets responding to a cut c) childbirth d) lactation
When you step outside in the cold, your body temperature decreases; which causes shivering or contractions of your muscles. In this example, the shivering or contracting of the muscles, is what part of the feedback loop?
Which of these homeostatic mechanisms in the body are examplesof positive feedback, and which are examples of negative feedback?Why?a. The adrenal glands produce epinephrine in response to a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in times of stress; the pituitary gland senses the epinephrine in the blood and stopsproducing the hormone.b. As the bladder fills with urine, pressure sensors send messagesto the brain with increasing frequency, signaling that the bladdermust be emptied. The more the bladder fills, the more messagesare sent.c. When you drink an excess of water, specialized cells in yourbrain, as well as stretch receptors in your heart, detect theincrease in blood volume. Both signals are transmitted to thekidneys, which increase the production of urine.
