Document Summary

Used to describe resting state: steady state is where the physiological response matches the physiological demand. Temperature returns to 20 c room temperature signals thermostat to turn off heat . Thermostat at 20 c: components of a biological control system, describes the way that a physiological variable is controlled, 4 components, 1. Receptor: signals/sends information to the integrating center of a disturbance: 3. Integrating center: signal effector to correct disturbance: 4. Effector: effector corrects disturbance and removes stimulus: stimulus: stimulus excites receptor (+) receptor: receptor signals the integrating center of a disturbance (+) integrating center: signal effector to correct disturbance (+) . Effector: effector corrects disturbance and removes stimulus (-) stimulus: examples, cutaneous nociceptor reflex, stimulus: hot stove receptor: skin integrating center: brain . Effector: muscle: regulating blood pressure, stimulus: heart action causes increasing blood pressure in blood vessels . Example: definition: it is a series of intergraded components that describe how a physiological parameter is controlled, 4 components, 1.
