Is mercury too hot or too cold or warm?

Hot-it's closest to Sun.


Where is the control center for thermoregulation located?

It's in the brain, the hypothalamus. Probably because the brain is the most important organ in the body and it needs it temperature regulated more than any other body part: 10 degrees too hot and in 3 minutes, brain damage occurs, 6 degrees too hot for 30 minutes and damage occurs, 20 degrees too cold for 30 minutes and brain damage occurs.

What is the role of thermoregulation in body?

Thermoregulation is a vital process in the body that helps to maintain a consistent core body temperature. It is the bodys ability to adjust its temperature to the surrounding environment. It is a complex process involving the nervous system cardiovascular system and the endocrine system. The body needs to be able to maintain a steady temperature in order to function properly. Thermoregulation helps the body to: Produce energy efficiently Regulate metabolism Maintain healthy brain and organ functions Develop and sustain muscle strengthWhen the body becomes too hot or too cold thermoregulation kicks in to adjust the body temperature back to normal. This is done through the sweat glands which help to regulate body temperature by releasing sweat to cool the body down. The body also has the ability to shiver which helps to generate heat. The hypothalamus is an important part of the thermoregulation process as it is responsible for regulating the temperature of the body.

Is a sneeze a voluntary or involuntary reaction?

Yes it is involutary because refelxes are something your body does on its own, without you even thinking about it. If reflexes were volutary, then it would take too long to take away your hand from too hot of a surface.Yes the term involuntary means " a response to a stimulus that requires no conscious thought. " Like the person above, when you touch a hot plate you don't think "Oh that's hot" and then move your hand away, you immediately move it and then feel the pain and say "ow".


What is thermoregulation?

Thermoregulation is the term we give to "temperature control" or the like. For example, the human body likes to run at an internal temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. And we have mechanisms within us that control our internal temperature. The biochemical structures that accomplish this are collectively termed the thermoregulation mechanism of the body. Other animals have them, too, but some lack them - like reptiles. A link is provided below.
