| What does the Receptor do? | Recieves the stimulus, detects and provides information about the stimuli |
| What does the Control Center do? | Processes the signal and sends instructions, decision maker that maintains the set point |
| What does the Effector do? | The muscle or gland that responds to the control center and takes action, carries out the instructions and causes the appropriate response |
| What is part of the Homestatic Regulation? | Negative Feedback Loop and Positive Feedback Loop |
| What is the Negative Feedback Loop? | Most common, Reverse distrubances to body's condition, and prevents sudden, severe changes |
