Which statement below lists the essential components of a feedback loop and describes their function?
A)Sensor detects a regulated variable; integrator interprets the information and sends it to the appropriate effector; effector alters the regulated variable; organ system returns the body back to normal
B)Set point is the value of the regulated variable; integrator interprets the information and sends it to the appropriate effector; effector alters the regulated variable; set point is the point the variable must always return to.
C)Set point detects the regulated variable; integrator interprets the information and sends it to the appropriate effector; effector decides if it will react or not to the signal.
D)Sensor detects a regulated variable; set point is the value of the regulated variable; integrator interprets the information and sends it to the appropriate effector; effector alters the regulated variable.
E)Integrator interprets the information; set point is the value of the regulated variable; effector alters the regulated variable.

Question

The correct answer is D because it lists all the essential components of a feedback loop and describes their function. The sensor detects a regulated variable, the set point is the value of the regulated variable, the integrator interprets the information and sends it to the appropriate effector, and the effector alters the regulated variable.
