In a control system, what is the role of receptors?
General Features of Control Systems
All control systems comprise receptors (to detect stimuli), coordination centres (to process information), and effectors (muscles or glands).
Body temperature, blood glucose levels, and water content are all regulated by homeostasis.
The human brain and spinal cord form the Central Nervous System (CNS).
