An Integrating Center

Question

An integrating center
A) is the disturbance or change that sets the pathway in motion.
B) is an electrical and/or chemical signal that travels to the effector.
C) evaluates incoming signals and compares it with the setpoint.
D) is the minimum stimulus that must be achieved to set the reflect response in motion.

Accepted Answer

An integrating center is responsible for evaluating incoming signals and comparing it with the setpoint. It then decides on an appropriate response and sends the signal to the effector. It does not initiate the disturbance or change (A), it is not the electrical or chemical signal that travels to the effector (B), and it is not the minimum stimulus needed to elicit a response (D).
