Biological systems react to stimuli, for example hot conditions. The reaction starts with sensors, followed by controls, and then effectors. Match the components of a body temperature feedback loop according to this basic model by matching the number (1,2,3) to the appropriate location in the feedback loop (A, B, C)(3 points)

Question

Put responses in the correct input to answer the question. Select a response, navigate to the desired input and insert the response. Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can also be moved by dragging with a mouse.
1. temperature regulatory center in brain
2. nerve cells in skin and brain
3. sweat gland throughout the body

Answer 1

In a body temperature feedback loop, the components can be matched as follows:

• A (Sensors): 2. nerve cells in skin and brain
  (These cells detect changes in temperature and send signals to the regulatory center in the brain.)

• B (Controls): 1. temperature regulatory center in brain
  (This center processes the information received from the sensors and determines the necessary response.)

• C (Effectors): 3. sweat gland throughout the body
  (These glands carry out the response by producing sweat to cool the body down.)

So, the correct matching is:

• A = 2
• B = 1
• C = 3
