Final answer:

Positive feedback systems enhance or exaggerate the original stimulus towards an endpoint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Positive feedback systems enhance or exaggerate the original stimulus towards an endpoint, making the statement true.

For example, in blood clotting, the activation of one clotting factor triggers the activation of the next factor in sequence, leading to the formation of a fibrin clot. Similarly, during childbirth, the hormone oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions. As the contractions intensify, more oxytocin is produced, leading to more powerful contractions and ultimately childbirth.
