Question

Why do most control systems of the body operate by negative feedback rather than positive feedback?

Answer 1

negative feedback is energy efficient i think.

Answer 2

Is this observed?

Answer 3

well i believe some body systems such as respiration have evolved and adapted the negative feedback system to conserve energy.

Answer 4

if there is a better way such as positive regulation, through natural selection and adaptation, it would be more prevalent

Answer 5

do you even know what you're talking about?

Answer 6

Wondering should i Answer or not?

Answer 9

thanks for the input @sunshao1

Answer 10

well.. I think its better to snapshot my text than typing... Will this help ?

Answer 11

correctissimo @Koikkara

Answer 12

positive feedback does not lead to stability but to instability and, in some cases, can cause death

Answer 13

lol...u demonsrtrated Feedback control with human behavior.... i guess so..

Answer 14

homeostasis is one of the few fundamental characteristics of living systems and positive-feedback mechanism is NOT necessarily about equilibrium for the most part.

Answer 15

But I think, Negative feedback is the most useful control type since it typically helps a system converge toward an equilibrium state.unfortunately in case of , positive feedback can lead a system away from an equilibrium state thus rendering it unstable, even potentially producing unexpected results. Unless stated explicitly, the term feedback control most often refers to negative feedback.

Answer 16

wow, true..!

Answer 17

This is the first time I've seen you make any sense

Answer 18

I am astonished as well
