Q

What does the body do if levels get too high and what is it called?

A

1) The receptor detects a stimulus level is too high
2) The coordination centre receives this and organises a response
3) The effector produces a response that counteracts the change and this restores the optimum level and the level decreases
This is called negative feedback
