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)

Answer 1

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

• A: 2 (nerve cells in skin and brain) - These are the sensors that detect changes in temperature.
• B: 1 (temperature regulatory center in brain) - This serves as the control center that processes the information.
• C: 3 (sweat gland throughout the body) - These are the effectors that carry out the response to cool the body down.

So the complete matching would be:

• A: 2
• B: 1
• C: 3
