Explain how the roles of the receptor and effector differ in the negative feedback mechanism to maintain homeostasis
What will be an ideal response?
In the negative feedback mechanism, the receptor is a type of sensor that monitors and responds to changes, called stimuli, in the environment. The receptor sends input information to a control center in the feedback loop. The control center analyzes the information it receives and determines an appropriate course of action. The effector provides the means for the control center's response (output) to the stimulus. The results of the response then feed back to influence the stimulus.
