1
New cards

• Homeostatic Control Mechanisms (Feedback Systems-Reflex Loops)

Receptor, Afferent Pathway (input), Control Center, Efferent pathway, Effectors

2
New cards

• Homeostatic Control Mechanisms (Feedback Systems- Reflex Loops) Receptor

Receptor—monitors change (baroreceptors—chemoreceptors)

3
New cards

• Homeostatic Control Mechanisms (Feedback Systems- Reflex Loops) Afferent Pathway + Control Center

Afferent pathway (input)—carries signal to control center (nerve—vagus—femoral)

Control Center—integrates the information (CNS—brain and spinal cord)

4
New cards

• Homeostatic Control Mechanisms (Feedback Systems- Reflex Loops) Efferent Pathway + Effectors

Efferent Pathway—sympathetic nerve fibers carries signals to the effectors—heart and blood vessels

Effectors—heart will beat faster and stronger in response to sympathetic innervation—blood vessels will vasoconstrict—blood pressure will increase
