Constant body temperature is maintained by warm blooded organisms - birds, mammals. The body temperature is maintained constant irrespective of an increase or decrease in temperature of the surrounding. The constant temperature is maintained by temperature haemostasis. This is achieved by altering the metabolic rate and rate of perspiration and urination. Maintaining constant temperature is also called as homeothermy.

∙ 15y agoThe body has several mechanisms to maintain stable internal temperatures. You will shiver when cold to raise body temperature. Most of the energy in muscle contraction is lost as heat so when you shiver (rapid muscular contraction) you warm up.
Secondly you cool down by sweating. The water in sweat takes the heat from the body with it. Through the process of evaporative cooling, when the water evaporates from your skin it takes the heat with it. Also your superficial blood vessels will dilate causing more blood to flow to the surface of the body which transfers some of that heat energy to the air also cooling your body.
