48
Q

Receptor

A

Receives stimulus

49
Q

Control center

Processes the signal and sends instructions

50
Q

Effector

A

Carries out instructions

51
Q

Set point

A

Desired value that the internal conditions keep to

Q

Negative feedback

A

Response of effector negates the stimulus.

Body is brought back into homeostasis

53
Q

Positive feedback

A

Internal stimulus produces a response that amplifies the original change in conditions.
Body is moved away from homeostasis.
