AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Effector is the cell, tissue, or organ that responds to signals from the control center, thus providing a response to the stimulus (physiological variable that changed) in order to maintain homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-2: -An effector is a part of the body that responds when the receptor cells send out signals to the central nervous system. The responses made by the effectors, such as the contraction of a muscle or the release of a particular hormone, are made as a result of the stimulation received by the receptor cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The control centers monitor and send information to effector organs to control the body’s response. If these effectors reverse the original condition, the system is said to be regulated through negative feedback.

Detailed explanation-4: -control center (set point or integrator) – tells what a particular value should be, and. effector – cause responses that alter conditions in the internal environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -The receptor receives information that something in the environment is changing. The control center or integration center receives and processes information from the receptor. The effector responds to the commands of the control center by either opposing or enhancing the stimulus.
