claimA control center is a component of a homeostatic control mechanism that monitors a variable and sends signals to the effector as needed to keep the variable in homeostasis.
claimIn biological homeostasis, the control centre compares incoming data against normal values and sends a signal to the effector if the variable is outside the normal range or not at the set point.
