Question

the impact of effector activity on sensors may be positive or negative. therefore, homeostatic control mechanisms are categorized as
neutral feedback systems.
organs that are directly influenced by physiological variables or mechanisms.
active or passive feedback systems.
intracellular or extracellular control mechanisms.
question 2 1 pts
which of the following is a basic component of every feedback control loop?
sensor mechanism
integrating center
effector
feedback
all of these are components of a feedback control loop.

Explanation:

For the first question, homeostatic control mechanisms are based on whether the feedback is positive or negative, so they are categorized as active (positive - amplifying) or passive (negative - dampening) feedback systems. For the second question, a feedback control loop has a sensor mechanism to detect changes, an integrating center to process information, an effector to make responses, and feedback to complete the loop. So all are components.

Answer:

1. C. active or passive feedback systems.
2. E. All of these are components of a feedback control loop.
