Homeostasis Positive Feedback

The ever changing outside world is divergent from the human body. With improvement of previous processes, the human body needs to keep a relatively stable internal environment, known as homeostasis. This crucial ability of the body consists of three components support the control mechanism; the receptor, the control center, and the response. Positive feedback is one of the two loops of homeostasis and, it is the enhancement or amplification of the original stimulus by an output. This cyclic feedback continues to amplify the body’s response to stimulus until negative feedback takes over. Positive feedback can be seen in multiple body function including blood clotting. To avoid blood loss, the body incorporates positive feedback to accelerate the clotting process until a blood clot is formed and bleeding stops.
Coagulation, commonly known as clotting, is a process where liquid blood changes to a gel and eventually forms a clot. A clot blockage to prevent blood from leaking out of the body and prevent external bacterias from entering this sterile environment. Blood in a tube like structure, called vessels, inside the human body. The process begins with vascular constriction where the body limits blood flow to the site of …show more content…
Hemophilia, Figure 2, is a medical condition where the body’s ability to coagulate is reduced tremendously. This results in severe bleeding from slight injuries and people with this condition have to be extremely careful, since even the smallest cuts can make them end up in a hospital. Blood is unable to clot properly in a person who has this genetic disorder. Having too few of certain clotting factors causes this illness. Hemophilia is considered a homeostatic imbalance because it results from the lack of clotting factors that are necessary for blood clotting. The control mechanism in a feedback looses its efficiency and the imbalance
