Homeostasis in the body is maintained through feedback systems that detect changes and work to return the body to a set point or normal state. A feedback system includes receptors that detect deviations from the set point, a control center that integrates the information and determines a response, and effectors that implement the response. There are two types of feedback systems: negative feedback systems counteract changes and return the body to the set point, while positive feedback systems further increase the initial change.
