Compare positive feedback and negative feedback?

In: Human Anatomy, Human Physiology [Edit categories]

Answer:

An example negative feedback is too much blood glucose so insulin is released to lower it that is negative feedback. Negative feedback does the opposite of what is happening. Positive feedback does the same thing to and endpoint, an example of this is labor, hormones are sent out to start contractions then even more is added until the endpoint which is the birth of a baby.
