Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of feedback loops in physiology, which are mechanisms that help maintain homeostasis in the body by regulating physiological processes.

Identify the three main components of a feedback loop: the receptor, the control center, and the effector.

The receptor detects changes in the environment or within the body, such as temperature or blood pressure, and sends this information to the control center.

The control center processes the information received from the receptor and determines the appropriate response to maintain homeostasis.

The effector carries out the response determined by the control center, such as adjusting the heart rate or releasing hormones. The stimulus is not a component of the feedback loop itself but rather the change that is detected by the receptor.
