Answers () (100% Verified)
what is the monitored variable called in a feedback loop - ANSWER---controlled
condition
what is the stimulus - ANSWER---any disruption that changes a controlled
condition
what's the receptor - ANSWER---body structure monitoring the changes of a
controlled condition and sends inputs
what is an afferent pathway-input - ANSWER---flows towards the control center
(nerve impulse or chemical signal)
what is the control center - ANSWER---sets the range of values within which a
controlled condition should be maintained; evaluates the input it receives from
receptors and generates output commands when they are needed
efferent pathway - ANSWER---flow away from control center to effector
effector - ANSWER---body structure receiving output and brings about change and
produces a response that alters the controlled condition
negative feedback system - ANSWER---reverses a change in a controlled condition
positive feedback loop - ANSWER---strengthens or reinforces a change in the
controlled condition until its interrupted-effector produces a response that
reinforces the initial change-child birth
