Question 2
H

A control system keeps an internal condition close to its optimum. A drug prevents receptors detecting a change in that condition. What is the most likely immediate consequence?

[1]
A

The coordination centre releases more receptors, so the corrective response becomes faster.

B

The effectors detect the stimulus directly, so the corrective response remains unchanged.

C

The effectors become coordination centres, so the condition returns immediately to optimum.

D

The coordination centre receives less information, so the corrective response may be delayed.
