Question
- A. They detect stimuli and send signals to the brain.
- B. They process information from receptors and coordinate responses.
- C. They execute the responses needed to restore balance in the body.
- D. They monitor changes in internal conditions.
Answer
The correct option is They execute the responses needed to restore balance in the body.. This answer is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to identify effectors, including muscles and glands, as structures that bring about responses to restore optimum levels in the subtopic Homeostasis.
Explanation
The correct option is They execute the responses needed to restore balance in the body.. They execute the responses needed to restore balance in the body. is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to identify effectors, including muscles and glands, as structures that bring about responses to restore optimum levels. This belongs to the subtopic Homeostasis within Homeostasis, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context. The other options are incorrect because they either do not answer this learning objective, use a vague statement, or move away from Homeostasis.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Effectors
Students often confuse effectors with receptors, thinking that effectors detect stimuli instead of responding to them.
Remember that effectors are the structures that bring about responses to restore optimum levels, while receptors are responsible for detecting stimuli.
