When the heart pumps blood into the aorta, the pressure gradient-the difference between the blood pressure inside the heart and the blood pressure in the artery-is an important diagnostic measurement. A direct measurement of the pressure gradient is difficult, but an indirect determination can be made by measuring the Doppler shift of reflected ultrasound. Blood is essentially at rest in the heart; when it leaves and enters the aorta, it speeds up significantly and-according to Bernoulli's equation-the pressure must decrease....

Prothrombin is a clotting factor that is normally present in the bloodstream. When a blood vessel is cut, prothrombin in the damaged area becomes activated and is converted to thrombin. Thrombin is an enzyme that acts to (1) promote the formation of fibrin fibers that begin to form a blood clot, and (2) convert additional prothrombin to thrombin. (a) What type of feedback loop is this? (b) What is the advantage of this type of feedback loop in this situation?...
