Q

List the general steps of the pathways of homeostasis

A
  1. Stimulus produces change
  2. Change detected by receptor
  3. Input into control center
  4. Output into effector
  5. Response of effector feeds back to magnitude of stimulus
  6. Returns change to homeostasis

Q

Describe how the layout of the ANS work in homeostasis

A

Visceral receptors receive signal and take it afferently into ANS integration centers
Sympathetic and parasympathetic efferent relay the information into autonomic effectors (cardiac/smooth mm) to initiate response
