  5. True or False
    Any given physiological parameter will never deviate beyond the set point.
    False
  6. True or False

  7. True or False
    Negative feedback systems are inhibitory.
    True
  8. True or False
    The process of childbirth, in which the baby’s head causes increased stretching of the
    reproductive tract, which in turn feeds back to the brain, thus triggering the release
    of oxytocin, is an example of positive feedback
