Q

THREE COMPONENTS OF HOMEOSTATIC CONTROL AND HOW THEY WORK

A

RECEPTORS
CONTROL CENTER
EFFECTORS

RECEPTORS “SENSORS” MONTOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND SEND INFO TO THE CONTROL CENTER
THE CONTROL CENTER HAS A DETERMINED SET POINT AND ANALYZES THE INPUT FROM THE RECEPTORS TO DETERMINE RESPONSES
EFFECTORS THEN CARRY OUT THE CONTROL CENTER’S DECISION OF RESPONSE
