Q

What two major body systems restore homeostasis?

A

The nervous system uses nerve impulses (action potentials) and reacts quickly like touching a hot object. The endocrine system uses chemicals called hormones which takes hours, days, or weeks to restore homeostasis.

Q

What is a control center?

A

Part of the body that sets a range for normalcy in a controlled condition. Receives an input from receptors then sends an output (nerve impulse or hormone) to attempt to restore homeostasis.
