Mr. Sampang, a male in his upper 20’s stumbled to the ground as he sustained a single gunshot wound in the right portion of the abdomen from a stray bullet suspected of coming from a neighbor having a party celebration. 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 the processes involved in the occurrence of the signs and symptoms?3. Describe homeostasis and the components of feedback mechanism and its role/s in the occurrence of the related symptoms in the scenario.

His initial physical exam reveals mild pallor and small bruises on his arms. A Complete Blood Count (CBC) shows a high white blood cell count and low counts of red blood cells and platelets. He is referred to a hematologist, who conducts further tests, including a bone marrow biopsy. The results indicate an increased number of immature white blood cells.
