Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following responds to the output message from the Control Center?
A
Effector
B
Receptor
C
Sense Organs
D
Brain & Spinal Cord
Explanation: 

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 integrating center, generally a region of the brain called the hypothalamus, signals an effector (e.g. muscles or an organ ) to respond to the stimuli. Positive feedback enhances or accelerates output created by an activated stimulus.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The effector is the structure that receives the output from the control center and elicits an appropriate response as positive or negative feedback.
