a) Receptors (sensors) form the first part of the control mechanism. What is a receptor? Provide an explanation then give one example of where a receptor is found, explaining its role is in monitoring homeostasis. b) Draw a simple summary diagram displaying the different levels of organisation of the nervous system. Include bullet points under each level to describe the function of that part. The bullet points should specifically include details of the role of that part of nervous system in homeostasis.
