Summary Introduction
To review:
The roles of the receptors, effectors, and control center in homeostasis.
Introduction:
The ability of the body of an organism to maintain the relatively stable internal conditions, in spite of being surrounded by the continuously altering environment is known as homeostasis. It is the state of dynamic equilibrium, in which the internal body conditions vary within a relatively narrow range.
