Question
Chapter 1.6, Problem 15WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine: The body structures that act as a receptor, control center, and effector that help in regulating temperature.
Introduction
Homeostasis is a self-regulatory process that helps in stabilizing the internal environment by adjusting the conditions of the body for survival. The homeostatic system has three components Receptor, control system, and effector. The regulation of the body temperature is essential for the survival of the body.
