Answer:

Similarities:

Both maintains a constant temperature of the body.

Differences:

Thermoregulation specifically works to maintain and monitor body core temperature whereas homeostasis not only maintains body temperatures but also keeps other internal conditions of the body constant such as maintaining a constant water and salt concentration.
