6.1.2 Effectors

• Glands secrete various substances through secretion to maintain homeostasis.


  True
• Smooth muscles contract voluntarily to regulate internal processes like digestion.

  False
• Match the type of gland with its example:

  Endocrine Gland ↔️ Thyroid gland

  Exocrine Gland ↔️ Sweat gland
• What is an example of an internal effector?

  Smooth muscles
• Muscles contract to produce movement or changes in posture
• Order the types of muscle by their primary functions:

  1️⃣ Skeletal muscles: voluntary movement

  2️⃣ Smooth muscles: regulate internal processes

  3️⃣ Cardiac muscle: maintain heart rhythm
• Cardiac muscle, found in the heart, contracts involuntarily
• The two main types of glands are endocrine and exocrine
• Exocrine glands secrete substances like enzymes, mucus, and sweat
• Muscles are contractile tissues responsible for movement and posture.


  True
• Glands are controlled by the endocrine system through hormones and the autonomic nervous system for exocrine glands
• Effectors are cells, tissues, or organs that respond to stimuli detected by sensory receptors and processed by the nervous or endocrine systems
• Match the type of muscle with its function:

  Skeletal Muscle ↔️ Produces gross body movements

  Smooth Muscle ↔️ Regulates internal processes

  Cardiac Muscle ↔️ Pumps blood throughout the body
• Where is cardiac muscle found?

  Heart
• What is the function of exocrine glands?

  Secrete substances through ducts
• External effectors control movement and interactions with the external environment.


  True
• Glands secrete hormones, enzymes, or other fluids to regulate various body functions
• Muscles contract to produce movement or changes in posture.


  True
• Match the muscle type with its function:

  Skeletal muscle ↔️ Gross body movements

  Smooth muscle ↔️ Regulates internal processes

  Cardiac muscle ↔️ Pumps blood
• Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream
• Muscle contraction produces movement, changes posture, and regulates internal processes
• Glands are secretory tissues responsible for producing and releasing hormones, enzymes, and other fluids.


  True
• Match the effector type with its function:

  Muscles ↔️ Produce movement and posture

  Glands ↔️ Secrete hormones and fluids
• Muscles contract to produce movement or posture changes.


  True
• What is the function of muscles as effectors?

  Produce movement or posture changes
• Glands respond to stimuli by secreting hormones, enzymes, or other fluids
• Endocrine glands maintain homeostasis by secreting hormones that control growth and metabolism.

  True
• Internal effectors regulate internal processes to maintain homeostasis
• Muscles and glands are the two primary types of effectors.


  True
• Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and contract voluntarily
• Glands are specialized cells, tissues, or organs that secrete substances in response to stimuli.

  True
• Exocrine glands secrete substances through ducts
• Gland secretion releases hormones, enzymes, or fluids to regulate various body functions
• Muscles are controlled by the nervous system for skeletal muscles and the autonomic nervous system for smooth and cardiac muscles
