What are the three basic components of every feedback control system?
The three main components of the feedback loop are; soliciting information, collecting information and compiling the information into a report. The last component of the feedback loop is implementation of the information
When body temperature rises a center in the brain initiates physiological changes to decrease the body temperature is an example of negative feedback or positive feedback?
This is a very good example of negative feedback.
Which structure of a feedback system receives output from the control center?
a receptor
How does feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis?
Sensors that are able to measure each condition of the internal environment constantly monitor the extracellular contitions and relay this information (usually via nerve signals) ti ab integrating center, wich contains the set point (the prpoer value for that condition). The integrating center receives messages from several sensors (the "stimuli"), wighing the relative strengths of each sensor input, and then determines whether the value of the condition is deviating from the set point. When a deviation occurs, the integrating center sends a message to increase or decrease the activity of particular effectors. Effectors are generally muscles or glands, and can change the value of the condition in question back toward the set point value. It works like a thermostat in one's home. You set it to 70 degrees and once it reaches a certain degree above 70 the heat will turn off, and when it goes below 70 the heat will turn on again.
How is negative feedback related to homeostasis?
Normally, the body attempts to regulate its metabolism through homeostatis. It monitors levels of various things through structures called receptors that communicate with integration centers - if something that is homeostatically regulated is not within a normal range, the integrating center can effect change. The receptor then tells the integrating center when the value is returned to normal, and the center stops acting to fix it. Fever is the body's normal immune response to infection. Many infecting organism like bacteria or viruses (though viruses are not technically organisms) cannot survive such high temperatures, and the body uses this as a general mechanism to protect itself. The body will not raise its temperature beyond a functional level. The immune system takes over in this case; the active nature of the immune system in the face of infection is a much stronger response than any homeostatic response. Other homeostatically regulated things will continute to be regulated through a fever, but the body's primary concern to eliminate the infection.
What does the set point within an integrating center resemble?

What are the components of the homeostatic mechanism?
The three important component parts of the homeostatic mechanism are receptors, the control center and effectors.
How does a disabled vasomotor center affect blood pressure?
Damage to your vasomotor center increases blood pressure.
How do the organs maintain homeostasis?
it is important for our body to maintain homeostasis(constant internal environment). there are 3 components.receptor which receives the change then it is transferred to the control center (mostly brain),which makes a correct response which will be send to the effector organ.It is maintained by either positive or negative feedback mechanism.

Where are the main integrating centers for most autonomic reflexes?
The primary autonomic center of the brain is the Medulla Oblongata which is responsible for autonomic functions such as breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.
