Now that you have studied the components of a homeostatic control system and their roles, it is time to put that knowledge to use. In this question, you will build a homeostatic control system. Drag and drop the items below in the appropriate order to represent a negative feedback homeostatic control system for body temperature regulation.

The missing part of the question is given as follows:

Muscles shiver to produce heat.

Body temperature rises.

Brain sends messages to muscles.

Thermoreceptors detect body temperature.

Brain processes temperature information.

The correct answer is - Thermoreceptors detect body temperature > Brain processes temperature information > Brain sends messages to nucleus > Muscles shiver to produce heat > Body temperature rises.

Explanation:

The negative feedback mechanism is a mechanism used to correct the variation to its normal value. The appropriate order or sequence to show the negative feedback homeostatic control system for body temperature regulation is as follows:

Thrmoreceptors present on the skin of an individual detects the body temperature which is sent to the brain for the processing of the information received from receptors. After processing the information on temperature brain send messages to the nucleus which causes the shivering of the muscles to produce heat and body temperature rises accordingly.
