|
Reverses an unwanted homeostatic change.
Process: Stimulus disrupts homeostasis -> that is a controlled condition which is monitored by -> receptors that send -> input signals (via nervous/endocrine systems) to -> the control center -> that sends signals to the -> effectors that change the response which -> alters the original condition. |
|
|
