automatic response in a cell, tissue, or organ
handled locally

A

autoregulation

21
Q

responses controlled by nervous/endocrine systems

handled from a distance

A

extrinsic regulation

22
Q

receives the stimulus

23
Q

command center

processes the signal and sends instructions

A

control center

24
Q

carries out instructions

has an effect on what you’re trying to balance

25
the response of the effector negates the stimulus | opposes/negates the original stimulus
negative feedback
26
enhances the stimulus the response of the effector reinforces the stimulus amplifies/enhances the original change in conditions rather than opposing it
positive feedback
