Question 2

What are the 3 major components to maintaining homeostasis

Answer 2

receptors
coordinating center
effectors

Question 3

What are receptors in charge of to maintain homeostasis

Answer 3

senses when an organ or condition is operating outside of dynamic equilibrium.

Information is sent to the brain regarding this condition

Question 4

what are Coordinating Center in charge of to maintain homeostasis

Answer 4

Relays information received form a receptor to an effector

Question 5

what are Effector in charge of to maintain homeostasis

Answer 5

Restores the organ condition back to dynamic equalibrium

Question 6

Negative feedback

Answer 6

The excess production of a chemical will inhibit (stop) its secretion
- operate to restore dynamic equilibrium

Question 7
