Homeostasis is a key factor in helping the body to maintain optimum conditions for life. It aids in keeping a steady environment inside the body when the external environment is constantly changing. ( Peate, I. and Nair, M. 2011) Humans need to maintain a near constant environment internally to be able to function and to survive. There are various control systems at work in the process of homeostasis, such as negative feedback and the receptor, controller and effector loop.
The receptor, controller and effector mechanism is the main system that homeostasis uses to maintain equilibrium, it is comprised of 3 parts( Evans, C. and Tippins, E. (2008). The receptor detects change that may affect the body's internal environment, such as a change
