sac 3 homestatis Flashcards
what role does the receptor play in maintaining homeostasis
their job is to detect the change in the stimulus and send a message to the control center
what role does the control center in maintaining homeostasis
receives the message and coordinates a response. Sends an output message to an effector
what role does the effector in maintaining homeostasis
effectors (muscles and glands) respond to the output from the control center
homeostasis
homeostasis is a relatively constant psychological state of the body despite changes in the external enviroment
what are the components of the stimulus-response model
stimulus, receptor, control center, effector and response
what happens in the receptor stage
a structure that detects change sends signals to the control center
what happens in the control center
the central nervous system evaluates the stimulus and sends to effector for any corrections
what happens in the effector stage
the structure adjusts the control center signal to make it correct
what is the negative feedback
a control system that maintains the body internal environment at a relatively steady state
what is positive feedback?
a mechanism that increase response in order to achieve a particular result
the endocrine system
made up of ductless glands, which secrete hormones into the blood. These participate in feedback loops and regulate internal functions.
endocrine glands
scattered widely throughout the body and their positioning does not necessarily reflect the lcation
hormones defintion
chemicals that coordinate different functions in your body by carrying messages through your blood to your organs, skins, muscles and organs
endocrine glands ect
endocrine glands are not considered as a part of the endocrine system as they do not produce hormones
if the hormone matches the receptor it can target a cell
