Question

read the scenario below. which type of feedback loop is occurring? during labor, certain hormones are released that cause the contraction of the uterus in order to push the baby out. when those hormones are sensed by the glands of the endocrine system, they secrete more of that hormone which keeps labor going until the baby is born. positive negative

Explanation:

In a positive feedback loop, a change is amplified. Here, labor - related hormones cause uterine contractions. When the endocrine glands sense these hormones, they secrete more of the hormone, which further promotes labor (amplifies the labor - related process) until the baby is born. In contrast, a negative feedback loop works to reverse a change and maintain homeostasis. Since this scenario shows an amplification of the labor process, it is a positive feedback loop.

Answer:

positive
