Select the statements that correctly describe positive feedback pathways.
A sensor/receptor is required to monitor and limit levels. A sensor/receptor is unnecessary to monitor and limit levels. Feedback prevents homeostasis. Feedback contributes to homeostasis. Feedback stimulates the effector to continue to do the same thing. Feedback stops the effector from doing one thing and stimulates it to do the opposite. When the target level for a hormone is reached, feedback results in a reduction of that hormone being released. When a target level for a hormone is reached, feedback results in an increase of that hormone being released.

Positive feedback happens when the products stimulate more to be made. You can think of it like the wave starting at the flames game. A few people start wave and more and more people join in until the whole stadium is doing the wave. In the human body. Uterine contraction is the same thing. Oxytocin is released and that causes the uterus to contract and that contraction goes and causes more oxytocin to be released making the uterus contractions harder and harder till the baby is delivered.
So the two phrases I saw that stuck out were
1. Feedback results in more hormone being released
2. Feedback causes the effector to continue doing the same thing

I would also like to add that A sensor/receptor is required to monitor and limit levels
