The algorithm schematic diagram shows Body Temperature Control System, since the body regulates its temperature continuously. Thus, temperature is being regulated by a control system, and the control is called homeostasis.

Homeostasis Algorithm Diagram Guideline

The schematic outlines the system that controls body temperature, hypothalamus, comparator to send signals (for heat gain mechanisms in the preoptic area, heat loss mechanisms in the posterior hypothalamus), and thermoceptors (central and perifer).

In this way, body temperature is constantly sensed and maintained constant or in homeostasis (source: http://www.unmc.edu/physiology/Mann/mann2.pdf)
