Question: Predict which cells/tissues/organs function as receptors, control centers, or effectors in specific examples of homeostatic regulation

This below is my work:

Sensory Receptor: Control Center: Effector:

1. Nociceptors(pain) CNS, limbic system, hypothalamus, Idk which cells/tissues/organ  

reticular formation

2. thermorecptor (temperature)

3. mechanoreceptor (physical distortaion such as touch)

4. chemoreceptor (chemical concentration)

please help me with naming cells/tissues/organs involve in each control centers, and effectors and even effector response.

I am creating model of homeostatic regulation that fits in evey condition. if i know all of the cell/tissues/organs fall on receptor, control center, or effector. this is just for practicing model for exam. i dont know what kind of question she gonna aked so this model will help me to figure out in specific examples of homeostatic regulation

Explanation / Answer

1. Nociceptors:

Location: Occur both externally and inside the body - Skin, muscles, joints, viscera, cornea and muscosal layers.

Control Center: Spinal cord and brain

Effector: Muscle, skin and mucosa

2. Thermoreceptors:

Location: Skin, Cornea and Urninary bladder

Control Center: Spinal cord and brain (hypothalamus)

Effector: Sweat glands, Hair erector muscles, Arterioles supplying skin capillaries, Skeletal muscles, Glands

3. Mechanorecpetors:

Location: Skin, Hair follicle, Cochlea, Free nerve endings

Control Center: Brain stem (especially cerebellum) and spinal cord

Effector: Muscles

4. Chemoreceptors:

Location: Nose, Tongue, Carotid and Aordtic bodies

Control Center: Brain and spnial cord

Effector: Muscles involved in respiration (diaphragm and intercostal), heart, blood vessels
