Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The integrator component is responsible for comparing the actual temperature of the body to the preferred temperature and making any necessary adjustments to the body's temperature. The sensor component detects the actual temperature, the effector component carries out any necessary temperature adjustments, and the motor component is not typically involved in temperature regulation.
