The key components of homeostasis include: the setpoint (the target value for a physiological variable), sensors (receptors like thermoreceptors that monitor the current state), the controlled variable (the parameter being regulated), the comparator/integrator (control centers like the hypothalamus that detect deviations), and effectors (organs or tissues that execute corrective actions).
