  • Homeostasis
    The regulation of internal conditions to maintain optimal conditions for enzyme action and cell function
  • What homeostasis controls in the human body
    • Blood glucose concentration
    • Body temperature
    • Water levels
  • What Control Systems Include
    • cells called receptors, which detect stimuli (changes in the environment)
    • coordination centres (such as the brain, spinal cord and pancreas) that receive and process information from receptors
    • effectors, muscles or glands, which bring about responses which restore optimum levels
