There are four different homeostatic mechanisms for regulation these four are the heart rate‚ breathing rate‚ body temperature and blood glucose levels. Negative feedback system is made out of receptors to detect change‚ a control centre to receive the information and process the response and effectors to reverse the change and re-establish the original state.
