Surface Forms

thermoregulation singular

thermoregulations plural

Morphology

thermoregulation = regulation (transparent) = thermo + regulation

The meaning is directly recoverable from thermo- 'temperature/heat' plus regulation, yielding 'regulation of temperature'.

Etymology

Thermoregulation joins thermo- ('heat'), as in thermometer, with regulation ('control' or 'rule'), like in regulate. So in machines, buildings, or electronics, thermoregulation is the 'control of heat' that keeps temperature safe and the system working well.
