The homeostasis mechanism for regulating body temperature involves a negative feedback loop where sensors detect deviations from the 37°C (98.6°F) setpoint, the brain receives the signal, and the body executes corrective actions—such as shivering and constricting blood vessels when cold, or sweating and dilating blood vessels when hot—until the temperature returns to the setpoint.
