There are three essential components of all homeostatic control mechanisms; control center, receptor, and effector. The __(1)___

senses changes in the environment and responds by sending information (input) to the __(2)__ along the __(3)__ pathway. The __(4)__ analyzes the input, determines the appropriate response, and activates the __(5)__ by sending information along the _(6)_ pathway. When the response causes the initial stimulus to decline, the homeostatic mechanism is referred to as a __(7)__ feedback mechanism. When the response enhances the initial stimulus, the mechanism is called a _(8)_ feedback mechanism. __(9)__ feedback, mechanisms are much more common in the body.

Answer:

The receptor senses changes in the environment and responds by sending information (input) to the control center along the ascending pathway. The control center  analyzes the input, determines the appropriate response, and activates the effector by sending information along the descending pathway. When the response causes the initial stimulus to decline, the homeostatic mechanism is referred to as a negative feedback mechanism. When the response enhances the initial stimulus, the mechanism is called a positive feedback mechanism. Negative feedback, mechanisms are much more common in the body.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the adaptation of living organisms or systems to new conditions in the environment by auto-regulation. Through this mechanism, an equilibrium state can be maintained in spite of any changes. This adjustment in the physiological system is called <em>homeostatic regulation</em> and it is composed of three parts: the receptor, the control center, and the effector.

The receptors receive information from the environment about something changing and transmit that information to the central nervous system (control center). This pathway is defined as the ascending pathway. Information is processed in the control center which handles many sensory signals, evaluates them, compares them and uses them for decision making. After that, an efferent neuron is stimulated to carry information from the central nervous system to the effector cells of the target organ. The effector may be muscle or glandular tissue. This pathway is defined as the descending pathway. Finally, the target organ responds.

There is negative feedback when the response declines the initial stimulus, which is the <u>most common mechanism</u> in the body. There is positive feedback when the response enhances the initial stimulus, which might be very nocive to the organism.

Difference between family planning and birth control
nexus9112 [7]
‘Family planning’ is a broad term that includes any measures taken to responsibly prevent pregnancy (birth control, contraception, planning, abortions, permanent infertility procedures, etc.).
Birth control, however, is specifically designed to intervene in a woman’s natural hormones to drastically reduce the possibility of pregnancy (much like contraception)
