What is the physiological process that monitors and maintains a balanced and stable internal environment?
homeostasis
Which part of the brain monitors a fall in core body temperature?
hypothalamus :)
What organ contains the thermostat that monitors body temperature?
The human body normally maintains a set body temperature. How does this happen? How do we generate additional heat when our body is too cold, and how do we cool off when we are too hot? Although part of this response is voluntary, how do we really know that we are cold, and what is our brain doing involuntarily to keep temperatures constant. At times our temperature will move away from the set point, whether through environmental effects such as exposure to cold or internal processes including fever and exercise.Humans are homeotherms, maintaining an average core temperature of 37 +/- 0.5 degrees Celsius. Core temperature varies slightly due to environmental and metabolic factors. Exercise or fever may raise core temperature by up to three degrees, while exposure to cold may lower core temperature by a degree. Beyond these boundaries, the human is susceptible to heat stroke (elevated temperature) or hypothermia, both of which are life threatening conditions.While core temperature is tightly regulated, skin temperature varies greatly in response to metabolism and the environment. Temperature receptors in the skin (cold and hot) detect these changes, initiating compensatory mechanisms through the central nervous system.

What is the regulation of body temperature?
The part of the body that regulates our core body temperature is the region of the brain called the hypothalamus. It monitors the temperature of the blood that passes through it, and orders any physiological changes that are required to maintain a constant 37oC.
What is the the national organization that monitors or regulates the practice of plumbing in the Philippines?

What monitors and control the internal environment?
interoceptors
How can you bypass a thermostat on a 2000 Saturn LS?
You CAN just remove it; but that introduces another set of problems. The computer monitors the engine temperature, and if the engine is not warming sufficiently the computer will start to report a fault. A cold engine does not perform as well, and if the thermostat is removed the engine will not be able to reach operating temperature. The thermostat restricts coolant flow into the radiator while the engine is cool. Once the engine warms to operating temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing excessive heat to be dissipated through the radiator. Removing the thermostat is NOT recommended and can significantly affect performance and engine wear.
What agency monitors and regulates unfair labor practices?
trade union, workplace forum and workers organisation.
What is the difference between pressure sensor and temp sensor?
One monitors pressure and the other monitors temperature.
What is the role of the thermoregulatory center in the brain?
The part of the body that regulates our core body temperature is the region of the brain called the hypothalamus. It monitors the temperature of the blood that passes through it, and orders any physiological changes that are required to maintain a constant 37oC.
