The internal environment of the body consists of the

fluid that surrounds our cells, extracellular fluid and the cells themselves.

Effectors cause responses that alter conditions in the

internal environment.

Homeostasis is the body's maintenance of a stable

internal environment.

Receptors provide information about specific conditions in the

internal environment.

Control centers function to decide what a

particular value should be.

The three components of a homeostatic mechanism are
