The receptor senses changes in the environment and responds by sending information to the control center along nerve impulses or chemical signals.
receptor
The structure that receives output from the control center in a feedback system is typically the effector. The effector is responsible for carrying out the response dictated by the control center to maintain homeostasis or achieve the desired outcome.

The correct order of a homeostatic control system is: Stimulus - a change occurs in the internal or external environment. Receptor - sensors detect the change in the environment. Control center - processes the information and determines the appropriate response. Effector - carries out the necessary response to restore homeostasis.
In a feedback system, the sequence of events typically involves the initial stimulus activating a sensor, which then sends a signal to the control center. The control center receives the signal, processes the information, and initiates a response by sending signals to effector organs. The effector organs then carry out the necessary actions to counteract the initial stimulus, ultimately restoring balance to the system.
The pathway from the control center to the effector involves several key components of the feedback loop. First, the control center, often the brain or endocrine glands, processes information from sensory receptors about a change in the environment. It then generates an appropriate response and sends signals, typically via nerve impulses or hormones, to the effector. The effector, which can be a muscle or gland, executes the response to restore homeostasis or achieve a specific physiological effect.
A feedback loop involving sensory receptors typically includes three main parts: the sensory receptor, the control center, and the effectors. The sensory receptor detects changes in the environment (stimuli) and sends this information to the control center, which processes the input and determines the appropriate response. The control center then signals the effectors (muscles or glands) to carry out the response, thereby regulating the body's reaction to the stimuli. This process helps maintain homeostasis and adapt to changes in the environment.
