Unit 9 Homeostasis

Component in a homeostasis-maintaining system responsible for monitoring conditions in the body and detecting any abnormalities

• Receptor
• Control Center
• Effector
• Stimulus

Component in a homeostasis-maintaining system responsible for processing negative feedback and sending out the appropriate hormones to communicate between the receptor and the effector

• Control Center
• Receptor
• Effector
• Stimulus

Component in a homeostasis-maintaining system responsible for producing the corrective mechanism to restore normal conditions in the body

• Effector
• Receptor
• Control Center
• Stimulus

Abnormalities or changes to the internal conditions which stimulate corrective mechanisms

• Negative Feedback
• Positive Feedback
• Control Center
