Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The body's control system must detect deviations from the usual range of values for a given parameter, integrate information from multiple sources to determine whether adjustment is necessary, and then make appropriate adjustments to restore homeostasis. Choice A is incorrect because the body's control system does not control the external environment, only responds to it. Choice B is partially correct but does not include the final step of making adjustments. Choice C is incorrect because it does not include the crucial step of making appropriate adjustments.
