    This document discusses the body's temperature regulation system. It has 5 parts: 1) Receptors monitor body temperature, 2) Afferent nerves send this information to the brain, 3) The brain's control center compares the temperature to the set point, 4) If needed, the control center uses efferent nerves to signal sweat glands to respond, 5) The sweat glands response helps maintain homeostasis by regulating temperature changes.

    Laboratory: Session 2

    1. Receptors
    Ratio: Monitors the value of a variable.
    2. Afferent nerve
    Ratio: Sends the information to the part of the brain responsible for regulating body
    temperature.
    3. Control center
    Ratio: Compares the value of the variable against the set point.
    4. Sweet glands response
    Ratio: The control center causes the effector to respond. Nerves send information to
    sweat glands.
    5. Efferent nerve
    Ratio: Response to changes in body temperature to maintain homeostasis.
