The Part of the Feedback Loop That Detects a Change

Question

The part of the feedback loop that detects a change in the regulated condition is called
A) homeostasis
B) the effector
C) the sensor
D) the control center

Accepted Answer

The sensor detects a change in the regulated condition and sends a signal to the control center, which then initiates a response through the effector. Homeostasis refers to the overall maintenance of a stable internal environment, which is achieved through various feedback loops involving the sensor, control center, and effector.
