2
characterized by their ability to either increase or decrease a stimulus, inhibiting the ability of the stimulus to continue as it did prior to sensing of the receptor
3

the body site where a response is generated, which counters the initial stimulus and thus attempts to maintain homeostasis
6
a response within a system (molecule, cell, organism, or population) that influences the continued activity or productivity of that system. In essence, it is the control of a biological reaction by the end products of that reaction
7
a change in the environment, such as an irritant, loss of blood, or presence of a foreign chemical
