✔✔interstitial fluid
what is the monitored variable called in a feedback loop - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔controlled condition
what is the stimulus - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔any disruption that changes a
controlled condition
what's the receptor - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔body structure monitoring the changes
of a controlled condition and sends inputs
what is an afferent pathway-input - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔flows towards the
control center (nerve impulse or chemical signal)
,what is the control center - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔sets the range of values within
which a controlled condition should be maintained; evaluates the input it
receives from receptors and generates output commands when they are
needed
efferent pathway - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔flow away from control center to effector
effector - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔body structure receiving output and brings about
change and produces a response that alters the controlled condition
negative feedback system - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔reverses a change in a
controlled condition
positive feedback loop - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔strengthens or reinforces a change
in the controlled condition until its interrupted-effector produces a response
that reinforces the initial change-child birth
disorder - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔abnormality of a structure or function
