Negative feedback control. A receptor is stimulated by a change such as low temperature and signals a regulator center (in the brain), which directs effectors (muscles or glands) to react. The response, constriction of blood vessels in the skin and perhaps shivering, raises the temperature and cancels the original stimulus.
