Question

A good example of a positive feedback mechanism would be ________.
A) body temperature regulation
B) enhancement of labor contractions
C) blood calcium level regulation
D) regulating glucose levels in the blood

Enhancement of labor contractions is a good example of positive feedback mechanism because as the contractions get stronger, they stimulate the release of more oxytocin which in turn stimulates more contractions. This continues until the baby is born, creating a self-amplifying cycle.
