Question
Chapter 23, Problem 13WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reaction of an eye's pupil when a person enters the sunshine from a dark room.
Introduction:
Feedback is the pathway, which generates a response against the initial stimuli. This can be positive feedback or negative feedback.
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way in which the opposing reaction of an individual’s eye illustrates the mechanism of negative feedback.
Introduction:
Negative feedback helps in stabilizing a particular system by the activation of the response of the body. It is a type of output of a particular system.
