control methods have at least three interdependent components: receptor, control
centre, and effector.

centre.
- The control centre, typically the brain, instructs an effector (such as muscles) to
respond to stimuli.
- Positive feedback improves or accelerates the output generated by an active
stimulus.
- Negative feedback restores a system's natural function, such as regulating blood
pressure, metabolism, and body temperature.
