A
Recognizes the stimulus
5
Q
Control center (control of homeostasis)
A
The receptor send information to the control center through an afferent pathway to determine what response is needed
6
Q
Afferent pathway (control of homeostasis)
A
From the organ to the brain
7
Q
Effector (control of homeostasis)
A
The control center sends its response to the effector through the efferent pathway
