1. How do insulin and glucagon differ in their roles within blood glucose homeostasis?
2. What is the primary role of the control center in the stimulus-response pathway?
3. What is the main role of different sensory receptor types in the body?
Homeostasis — definition?
Maintaining internal stability despite external changes.
Blood glucose levels — regulation?
Controlled by insulin and glucagon hormones.
Negative feedback — mechanism?
Counteracts deviations to restore balance.
Stimulus — role?
Triggers a response in the body.
Receptor — function?
Detects specific stimuli and sends signals.
Control centre — role?
Processes information and directs responses.
