the regulation of the internal conditions of a cell or organism in response to internal or external changes.
1 of 5
what is homeostais control of?
-blood glucose -body temperature -water and ion levels
2 of 5
what do control systems include?
-cells called receptors, which detect changes in the environment. -coordination centres, which process info from receptors. -effectors which bring about responses that restore optimum levels
3 of 5
what does the nervous system do?
-enables humans to react to their surroundings -info from receptors passs through the centre nervous system (brain and spinal cord)
