GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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 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-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: -Thermoreceptors detect changes in body temperature. For example, thermoreceptors in your internal organs can detect a lowered body temperature and produce nerve impulses that travel to the control center, the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus controls a variety of effectors that respond to a decrease in body temperature.

Detailed explanation-5: -Effectors-provide the means for the control center’s response. There are two basic control mechanisms, Negative Feedback Mechanisms and Positive Feedback Mechanisms. Positive Feedback Mechanisms-Not as common as negatives. In these the response to the stimulus causes more response to the stimulus.
