Describe the feedback mechanism whereby the integumentary system participates in the regulation of body temperature?

This is a process that includes the sweat glands, nails, hair, and skin. They work together to determine the temperature outside and if they need to warm you up or cool you down.

What is the importance of temperature-regulating mechanisms in organisms?
The hypothalamus is responsible for the regulation of temperature in organisms. It is important because temperature directly affects vital biochemical processes within the body. Without a regulating mechanism, the organism will die.
What is cerebral blood flow regulated by?
Cerebral pressure auto regulation, adenosine receptor mechanism, nitric oxide.
Several of the different globin genes are expressed in humans but at different times in development what mechanism could allow for this?
differential gene regulation over time
What is homeostatic regulation?
Homeostatic regulation is controlled in the body by the autonomic nervous system and seeks to maintain relatively stable conditions in the internal environment. The main gland of homeostasis is the hypothalamus and the major organ of homeostasis are the kidneys.
What is homeostatic mechanism?
A homeostatic mechanism is the property of a system, either open or closed, that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, constant condition. For example: the hypothalamus (which is a homeostatic mechanism) senses when your body's temperature is too high or too low. In a situation where the temperature of your body is above normal, the hypothalamus senses that a change needs to be made in order to reverse the heating of the area and reduce the amount of blood that is sent to the location. In turn this action will cool the body and return it to the normal temperature in which it should be maintained.
What is the Primary mechanism of homeostatic regulation?
The body's primary mechanism of homeostatic regulation is negative feedback. This mechanism recognizes the problem, identifies the correction, and changes the variable.
What occurs when the temperature regulation mechanism in the brain is disturbed oftentimes when estrogen levels fall during menopause?
It would be hot flashes.

What is mechanism of CARP?
The mechanism of CARP is the regulation of the blood glucose, breathing rate, and heart.
What is least likely to be a mechanism for enzyme regulation?
It's Proteolytic cleavage!
What is the following fastest mechanism of regulation of acid base balance?
bicarbonate buffer system
Antitermination of RNA synthesis is a major mechanism of regulation in?
lytic phase of lambda phage
What mechanism is used to finely tune enzyme activity according to the needs of the cell?
allosteric regulation
The mechanism of contraction in smooth muscle is different from skeletal muscle in that?
The site of calcium regulation differs
What mechanism is used to finely tune enzyme activity according to the needs of the cel l?
allosteric regulation
What mechanism controls internal temperature?
look for your self
