Q

How Homeostasis works

A

.the hypothalamus ( Brain ) detects a change from the base line condition
. the receptors send a signal to the response tissue/ organ called the effectors
. these signals can be either neurological or chemical
. the effectors change the internal condition and returns them back to normal
