Summary Introduction

To describe:

The term “positive feedback”. Also, determine whether it is always harmful and how often does it occur naturally.

Concept introduction:

There are two types of feedback mechanisms in the body. One is positive feedback and the other is negative feedback. Both these feedback mechanisms are exactly opposite to each other and are useful for the body.

It is a warm day and you feel a little chilly. On checking your temperature, you find that your body temperature is 1.5 degrees below normal. Suggest 3 possible reasons for this situation. Describe briefly how your body will react to this dip in temperature.
In preparation for serious competitions, athletes train in high altitude conditions (about 2-3 km above sea level) for a month or more. During warm-ups, even in the warm season, athletes wear insulated suits (warm muscles). Extremely rarely are “violators” who additionally use a pharmacological preparation containing a hormone to enhance the physiological effect of training in the mountains. Questions: 1. What do training in highlands give? 2. Why do you need to warm up your muscles? 3. What hormone are we talking about, and what is its physiological significance? 4. What blood indicator can change with prolonged exposure to high mountains with a negative value for the body?
Imagine you are sick and you have fever. Sensors on the skin and brain detect this and communicate with the temperature regulatory center in the brain which then sends out a command to the sweat glands of your body as a result of which you start sweating and in about 15 mins your body temperature comes back to normal for the time being. This this feedback loop, identify the following: sensors control center effector stimulus                    response
