Receptor, control, Effector   The 3 Feedback system components are?  
🗑
Feedback Receptor   monitors changes in a controlled condition and sends input in the form of nerve impulses or chemical signals to a control center  
🗑
Feedback Control Center   Sets the range of values within which a controlled condition should be maintained, evaluates the input it receives from the receptors, and generates output commands when they are needed  
🗑
Feedback Effector   a body structure that receives output from the control center and produces a response or effect that changes the controlled condition.  
🗑
Negative Feedback System   if a response reverses the original stimulus Ex: Blood pressure increases, signals sent to heart to pump slower, to decrease bp back to normal  
🗑
