1 Homeostasis Feedback Loops

2 Contractions during childbirth
When a contraction occurs, the hormone oxytocin is released into the body, which stimulates further contractions. This results in contractions increasing in amplitude and frequency.

3 Blood Clotting The loop is initiated when injured tissue releases signal chemicals that activate platelets in the blood. An activated platelet releases chemicals to activate more platelets, causing a rapid cascade and the formation of a blood clot.

4 Breast feeding During lactation the more the baby suckles, the more milk is produced, via a surge in prolactin secretion.
