Control of sound in the room (pa system): Output variable: level of the sound in the room. Amplifier: wire in the back of the room. Effector usually increases the level of the sound in the room. (in this case, output variable does not want to cross threshold) (in a heavy metal band setting, would want to cross threshold) Output: pressure in the walls of uterus and on cervix. Sensor: pressure detectors (mechanosensitive neurons in the walls of the uterus and cervix) Leads to increase in pressure in the walls of the uterus and cervix. Oxytocin receptors respond to the oxytocin increase in the plasma. Physical and chemical properties that regulate the movement of substances in the body.
