Blood platelets in the area begin to attach to the broken blood vessel walls in the wound. What needs to happen next to create a positive feedback mechanism?A: The platelets change shape and encourage more platelets to rush in and stick to each other to form plugs that seal the broken vessels.Q24: Which of the following must the human body obtain from the environment in order to survive?A: WaterQ25: Homeostasis exists if concentrations of water, nutrients, and oxygen in the body are balanced and heat and pressure __________.A: remain within certain limited rangesQ26: In negative feedback mechanisms, what occurs due to changes that move a variable away from the normal state?A: Stimulation to change the variable in the opposite direction.Q27: What is the effect of a positive feedback mechanism?A: It causes a further increase in the original stimulus.
