Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An effector is a cell or organ that responds to the directions of the control center in a negative feedback loop. The effector works to bring the body back to its set point or normal range.

The regulator is not a term used in negative feedback loops, and the stimulus is the factor that triggers the response.
