Answer 2

Answer:

It processes the environment and sends out signals.

Sense receptors can sense any changes in internal or external conditions which disturb the homeostasis. The sensory information is sent to the central nervous system which in turn process the information and commands the respective body parts to perform actions to restore the homeostasis.
