How do shower bodies even work?

I don't need to know for professional or practical purposes, but I can't stop wondering. I bought a valve. I was told it's scald proof. I thought it would have chambers or a reserve. Nope, it's just a big clunky brass looking thing. How does the mixing work? How does it keep the water from getting hot, when someone flushes or runs cold water in another bathroom?
