Question

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)

Answer 1

the answers and temperature regulatory center in brain

nerve cells in skin and brain

sweat gland throughout the body

Answer 2

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

1. **Sensors:** These detect changes in temperature. In the body, thermoreceptors in the skin and the hypothalamus act as sensors that monitor body temperature. **(A)**

2. **Controls:** This refers to the regulatory system that processes information from the sensors and determines the appropriate response. The hypothalamus acts as the control center that processes temperature information. **(B)**

3. **Effectors:** These are the components that carry out the response to change body temperature. In the case of overheating, effectors include sweat glands (which produce sweat) and blood vessels (which dilate). **(C)**

So, the matching would be:
- A: 1 (Sensors)
- B: 2 (Controls)
- C: 3 (Effectors)

Answer 3

Based on the components you provided, here's how they fit into the body temperature feedback loop model:

1. **Sensors:** In this context, **nerve cells in the skin and brain** serve as the sensors that detect temperature changes. They gather information about external and internal temperature. **(A)**

2. **Controls:** The **temperature regulatory center in the brain** (primarily the hypothalamus) processes the information from the sensors and determines the necessary response to maintain homeostasis. **(B)**

3. **Effectors:** **Sweat glands throughout the body** act as effectors that carry out the response to cool the body down when it gets too hot, among other mechanisms. **(C)**

So the matching for this context would be:
- A: Nerve cells in skin and brain (1 - Sensors)
- B: Temperature regulatory center in brain (2 - Controls)
- C: Sweat glands throughout the body (3 - Effectors)
