Which of the following statements concerning homeostasis is false? The response of effectors can result in changes in non-regulated variables, which, in turn, alter the regulated variable. Sensors, which detect the regulated variable and respond by transducing that stimulus into a different signal, are constantly active, even when the regulated variable is outside of the normal range. A regulated variable is one for which a sensor exists within the system and that is kept within a limited range by positive feedback mechanisms. An error detector compares the signal being transmitted by the sensor (representing the actual value of the regulated variable) with the set point. Variables that can be changed by the body, but for which sensors do not exist, are non-regulated or controlled variables.
