Thus, temperature is being regulated by a control system, and the control is called homeostasis. 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…
