systems

hormonal or electrical signals are sent from the control center to the
a. receptors
b. stimulus
c. afferent pathway
d. effectors
e. efferent pathway - CORRECT ANSWERS-d. effectors
a component that detects decreasing oxygen concentrations in blood would be the
a. receptor
b. muscle
c. response
d. effector - CORRECT ANSWERS-a. receptor
if blood concentrations of thyroid hormones increase above a certain level, thyroid
releasing hormone (TRH) neurons in the hypothalamus are inhibited & stop secreting
