Q

is a body structure that monitors
changes in a controlled condition and sends
input to a control center. This pathway is
called an afferent pathway, since the
information flows toward the control center.

Q

in the body, for example, the
brain, sets the narrow range or set point within
which a controlled condition should be
maintained, evaluates the input it receives
from receptors, and generates output
commands when they are needed. Output from
the control center typically occurs as nerve
impulses, or hormones or other chemical signals. This pathway is called an efferent
pathway, since the information flows away
from the control center.
