Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Effector refers to the organ or gland that performs the change in response to the signal from the integrating center.

Answer: C
 Integrating center is the part of the nervous system that receives and processes the information from the sensory receptor and sends output signals to the effector.

Answer: E
 Sensory receptor is a specialized cell that responds to a specific stimulus and converts it into a signal that can be interpreted by the nervous system.

Note: Threshold and setpoint are not directly related to the organ or gland that performs the change. Threshold refers to the minimum stimulus required to produce a response, while setpoint refers to the desired or target level of a physiological variable that the body strives to maintain.
