What is the sensor and integrator and effector of the blood glucose feedback loop?
The sensor in a negative feedback loop monitors the state of the variable, in this case blood glucose. For blood glucose, the sensor as well as the integrator is the Islets of Langerhans, since it contains the alpha and beta cells. Alpha cells produce glucagon, a hormone that acts on the liver to release more glucose into the blood. Beta cells produce insulin, which controls the uptake of glucose into the cells. The effectors respond to the sensor's messages, and act to maintain a variable. The effectors for blood glucose are the cells which take in glucose, as well as the liver.
