Negative Feedback Example/Homeostasis: Body Temperature Falling Below Normal
STIMULUS: Cold temperatures lower body temperature below normal. RECEPTOR: Sensory receptors in skin detect cold & send temperature info. to brain. CONTROL CENTER: Hypothalamus of brain sets body temperature at 37 degrees C, & directs respose to effectors. EFFECTOR: blood vessels in skin constrict; sweat glands become inactive; skeletal muscles shiver to generate heat. Heat is conserved. Body temperature is returned to normal & Homeostasis is restored.
often used to show internal body parts especially in the head and thoracic organs
