Regulation of homeostasis by
Negative feedback--B
3. Three components of a control system
A. Sensor (receptor) monitors the control
variable (for example, room temp.); what
is the sensor?
B. Integrating (control) center it compares
the sensors input with the set point and
sends instructions to effector
C. Effector action component that . . .

3. Details of birth of a baby
Uterine contractions push the
baby against the cervix
the stretching of the cervix
triggers nerve impulses
brings about oxytocin
secretion
The hormone oxytocin causes
even stronger powerful
contractions of the uterus

alterations in blood flow alone regulates
body temperature
25-30oC
Body temperature increase:
blood flow to skin increases
Body temperature decrease:
blood flow to skin decreases
