|
|
The three components of a homostatic mechanism are;

Receptors, a control center, effectors
|
|
The process of a homostatic mechanism is;
|
A stimulus/change in environment occurs. The stimulus is received in the receptors. The receptors send a signal to the control center. The effectors respond to the stimulus (eg. sweat glands excrete). Then a response occurs to restore your body to a normal state.

|
Some trace elements are:
|
Co, Cu, Fl, I, Fe
|
|
These act as enzyme cofactors in the body, speeding up reactions
|
Trace elements
