The organ system responsible for secreting hormones that regulate growth, development, and metabolism is known as the [BLANK-1] system.

During labor, the ripening of the cervix is due to the pressure of the descending fetus and hormonal changes in the body. Oxytocin, a hormone that stimulates contractions, amplifies and increases the frequency of the contractions until the cervix is fully ripened and the fetus is expelled.  This is an example of a [BLANK-1] feedback mechanism.
