The capillary thermostat has a capillary tube which is usually filled with a refrigerant which usually contracts or expands due to temperature. As the temperature expands this liquid and in turn this pressure presses against a bellows that pushes against a switch , the switch closes and the refrigerator runs until the capillary cools enough to decrease the pressure and the opposite happens.

How is your endocrine system like the thermostat in your house?

The negative feedback system. It works much the way a thermostat works. When the temperature in a room drops below a set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to turn on. Once the furnace has raised the temp in the room to the set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to shut off. It will continue to stay off until the thermostat signals that the temp has dropped again.
