Our bodies have nerve cells called thermoreceptors that measure temperature of our internal body and the external environment. When these nerve cells are stimulated by changes inside our bodies and in the world outside, they send their information to the brain, where it is mostly the job of the medulla oblongata to make changes to keep our internal body temperature constant.

Cells that detect conditions in the body environment are?
They are called "sense cells" and communicate information mainly to the brain, but sometimes to the autonomic nervous system. They include cells for seeing (optic), hearing (auditory), taste (gustatory), small (olfactory), and touch (tactile) - tactile cells detect heat, pressure, and injury (pain).

How does the homeguard know when it s on a person?
The homeguard may use various sensors such as motion sensors, pressure sensors, or heat sensors to detect the presence of a person. These sensors can detect movement or changes in weight or body heat, which help the homeguard identify the presence of a person in its vicinity.
