  • Effectors-> processing centre-> receptors

5. What does a receptor do?

  • detect when things change like temperature
  • receives information and then it coordinates our response
  • produce a response to ensure our (e.g.) temp stays at 37 degrees C

This is a popular and useful set of flashcards on homeostasis which would be useful for any biology students studying this topic. There are 32 cards in the set which can be printed off when you want to do a self-test.

32 is wrong osmosis is when it moves from a concentrated area to a dilute one.

no, 32 is correct, water moves from area of high water potential(dilute) to low water potential (concentrated solution)
