____41. The thermostat contains the
receptor (thermometer) and control
center. If the heating system is set at 70
degrees Fahrenheit, the heat (effector) is
turned on if the temperature drops below
70 degrees Fahrenheit. After the heater
heats the house to 70 degrees Fahrenheit,
it shuts off effectively maintaining the ideal
temperature.
____42. When blood sugar rises, receptors
in the body sense a change. In turn, the
control center (pancreas) secretes insulin
into the blood effectively lowering blood
sugar levels. Once blood sugar levels reach
homeostasis, the pancreas stops releasing
insulin.

hypothalamus of a human responds to
temperature fluctuations and responds
accordingly. If the temperature drops, the
body shivers to bring up the temperature
