The thermoregulating centre in the brain which contains receptors that measure temperature of the blood. It also recives impulses from skin temperature receptors.

Controlled via negative feedback:

Temperature too high-->  thermoregulatory centre acts as the CNS (coordination centre) so sends a response to the effectors--> Effectors e.g. sweat glands produce a response to counteract  the response which counteracts the change.

Exactly the same happens when its too low just the effectors and the response is different…
