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: -The control center compares the value to the normal range. If the value deviates too much from the set point, then the control center activates an effector. An effector causes a change to reverse the situation and return the value to the normal range.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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. This ongoing process continually works to restore and maintain homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-5: -control center (set point or integrator) – tells what a particular value should be, and. effector – cause responses that alter conditions in the internal environment.
