A. True

Explanation

In a positive feedback system, the response enhances or intensifies the original stimulus.

This plane is parallel to the midsagittal plane, which divides the body into equal right and left sides. The parasagittal plane allows for the examination of specific structures on one side of the body without affecting the other side. It is often used in medical imaging and surgical procedures to focus on particular areas of interest while minimizing disruption to the rest of the body.

In this case, the controlled condition is the body temperature, and the stimulus is the increase in body temperature due to the workout. The sweat glands, as effectors, respond to this stimulus by producing sweat to cool down the body and bring the temperature back to the set point.
