Question
Chapter 1, Problem 11CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for the given control system (for Figure refer to textbook) being called as the positive feedback mechanism, and the event that ends the mechanism.
Introduction:
The characteristic feature ofpositive feedback mechanisms is that the response generated from this system enhances the stimulus, which was initially formed. This process results in the acceleration of the response.

Using your knowledge of the heart, blood vessels and factors affecting
blood pressure, create a possible reflex control/feedback loop that would
occur if a person's blood pressure suddenly decreases. Include all of the
elements of a feedback loop. Your answer can simply be a list of steps that
would occur, but make sure to indicate all of the elements of a feedback
loop. This does not to be extremely detailed, I am looking for the elements
of the feedback loop and to see that you understand the factors affecting
blood pressure.
I will start the loop:
1. Stimulus: Drop in blood pressure.
The data processing cycle in Figure2-1 is an example of a basic process found throughout nature. Relate the basic input/process/store/output model to the functions of the human body.
The Siamese cat pictured is called a “seal point” because it has seal-colored (dark brown) extremities. Some Siamese cats show the same color pattern, but the dark areas are of a lighter color or even a different shade—for example, lilac point, red point, blue point. What results would you predict if the experiments described in the text (shaving the cat and then increasing or decreasing temperature) were conducted on cats with these color patterns?
