, receptor - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-monitors change in controlled
| | | | | | |



condition (stimulus) and sends input to control center
| | | | | | |




control (integration) center - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-receives input from
| | | | | | |



receptor & determines appropriate response
| | | | |




effector - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-cell or organ that receives information
| | | | | | | | |



(output) from control center and produces a response (effect)
| | | | | | | |




interactions of a feedback system - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-stimulus ->
| | | | | | | | |



receptor -> input (afferent pathway) -> control center -> output
| | | | | | | | | |



(efferent pathway) -> response | | |




positive feedback - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the response by the effector
| | | | | | | | |



to the initial change is to further exaggerate the change. Example in
| | | | | | | | | | | |



labor contractions, the contraction of the uterus forces the baby
| | | | | | | | | |



towards the birth canal, which
| | | |




places pressure on the cervix; the pressure of the baby against the
| | | | | | | | | | | |



cervix causes uterine contraction, etc. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-...
| | | | | | |




Negative feedback - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the response by the effector
| | | | | | | |



to the initial change is to counter or reduce that change, thus bringing
