The steps in homeostasis in order in which they occur are as follows:
Stimulus: a stimulus occurs in the body for instance a sudden change in the body temperature.
Receptors: the stimulus is acknowledged by the receptors with the help of sensors.
Control Center: the receptors acknowledge that information and sends it to the control center.
Set Point: the control center compares the information received by the receptors and checks in against the set point.
Effectors: once the controls center knows that the change needs to happen, it sends instructions to the effectors in order to address the issue.
Response: the response of the body is caused by the effectors. In the case of an increasing body temperature, the response is that the temperature begins to decrease until it reaches a normal range again.
