regulation mechanism
In order to maintain homeostasis, the body requires a mechanism by which to do so. It needs to be able to recognize change, assess it, and respond to it so that physiological conditions are kept at the normal range. These functions are carried out by the three components of this regulation mechanism:
The monitor - a particular tissue, nerve, or some other organic system that serves the role of detecting a change and sending information to the coordinating centre.
The coordinating centre - usually the brain or a part of it. The centre which receives information, assesses it, and ensures to respond to it.
The regulator - the system which receives information from the coordinating centre and initiates a response.
