The constant state of the internal environment is known as homeostasis. The processes the body goes through to achieve homeostasis are called homeostatic mechanisms. On a cold day, the decrease in body temperature is picked up by thermo receptors in the hypothalamus and peripheral thermo receptors in the brain. The hypothalamus is the modulator which stimulates different responses from the body to increase in heat production. These include; Shivering (minor contractions of muscles to generate heat), vasco constriction of the blood, decrease body temperature, pilo erection (hairs stand on end) and behavioral responses such as putting on warm clothes and staying under shelter. This process is known as a feedback system and its purpose is to gain homeostasis.

A strategy your body has for maintaining its temperature despite the chill of a cold day is?
shivering
Is a wind-chill temperature greater thean the actual air temperature?
No. As the chill wind wind chill might imply, which chill temperatures are colder than the real temperature.
Does it harm soda to chill bring to room temperature and then chill again?
No
If the wind speed is 20 MPH and the temperature is 89 Fahrenheit what is the wind chill?
No wind chill factor at that temperature.
What is the seemingly lower temperature due to excessive breeze?
The lower temperature is called wind chill
Temperature 68 F wind 20 mph wind chill?
No wind chill factor. The temperature still feels like 68 F.
What is the different between wind chill and air temperature?
Wind Chill is the measure of the perceived apparent temperature, whereas temperature itself is the measure of kinetic energy of the moving particles of matter.
What is the wind chill of 10 mph and -5 degrees?
The wind chill factor makes the outside temperature feel like -9.7°F.
What is the wind chill temperature when the temperature is 20 degrees Fahrenheit and there is a 15 miles per hour wind?
-8 F
Why doesn't wind chill reflect actual temperature?
Actual temperature reflects actual temperature. Wind chill is an attempt to quantify the effective lowering of the air temperature caused by the wind affecting the rate of heat loss from an exposed person.
Why is wind chill important?
Wind chill is important because it is how the temperature FEELS. the actual temperature is one thing but the wind chill is the combination of the cool wind air and the actual temperatur. it is important because when you are looking at a weather forcast say on weather.com, and it says feels like, that is basically the temperature+windchiill.
If the temperature is 15 degrees Fahrenheit an dwind speed is 30mph what is the wind chill factor?
Wind chill is -5º F
