Question

This step of a feedback loop is a structure that will process information about a specific change in the body's internal or external environment. This step in a feedback loop is typically a mini-process map outlining exactly what will happen when the structure that can act to adjust the situation does so. This step in a feedback loop is the outcome of the processes that the body used to adjust to the original change. This step in a feedback loop is the actual change away from a set point in the body's internal or external environment. This step in a feedback loop is a structure that detects changes in the body's internal or external environment. This step in a feedback loop is a structure that can act to adjust or compensate for a change in the internal or external environment. This step in a feedback loop is a messaging system (neuron and/or signal molecule) between the structure that processes information about a specific change in the internal or external environment

Explanation / Answer

Human body regulate its metabolic processes to maintain in a constant equilibrium state for the normal functioning of the system and this is known as homeostasis. Examples are temperature, ph, blod gelucose level etc.

Homeostatic regulation is done by 3 mechanisms:

1)Receptor - Receives information about the change in environment

2)Control center - Receives and processes information from the receptor (Hypothalamus)

3)Effector - Respond to the Control center's message

There are two feedback system that can able to maintain the homeostatic state:

1. Positive feedback system (example - child birth) 2. Negative feedback system (example - regualtion of blood pressure)

Answers:

a) Integration center or Control center

c) Response

d) Abnormal or diseased condition

e) Sensor or receptor

f) effector

g) Efferent pathway - the structure that proceeses information is control center and the structure that can act to adjust the situation is effector.

h) Afferent pathway - The structure that detects the change is receptor and the structure that proceeses information is control center.
