For example, if a 37-year-old Marine with 10 years of service desires to reenlist in the Marine Corps, his/her age will be 27 for enlistment purposes. Although the maximum age for enlistment is 35, any individual older than 28 is required to request an age waiver.
Homeostasis. The biological definition of homeostasis is âthe tendency of an organism or cell to regulate its internal environment and maintain equilibrium, usually by a system of feedback controls, so as to stabilize health and functioningâ.lmost all homeostatic control mechanisms are negative feedback mechanisms. These mechanisms change the variable back to its original state or âideal valueâ. A good example of a negative feedback mechanism is a home thermostat (heating system).
Confidence votes 167. There are two types of feedback systems (how the body maintains homeostasis) and they are Positive: causes the variable to change in the body to increase the inital change...example giving birth.Negative: causes the varibale to change in the opposite direction of the initial changes...example body temperature.here are few examples of positive feedback, the most common of which is the release of oxytocin during childbirth. When the body has a lot of oxytocin in the blood during childbirth, instead of lowering the levels, it raises them, causing the uterus to contract and cervix to dilate more. 6 people found this useful.
