The hypothalamus is the gland that is responsible for ensuring that the human body is at the proper temperature. If the body falls out of the normal temperature range, there are multiple mechanisms the body uses to return to normal. Among them are:
Shivering. If your body temp is too low, shivering causes your muscles to generate more heat to warm up.
Blood flow. If you are too warm, your body opens up all the capillaries and increases blood flow to the skin, which allows heat to be taken away from the body and into your environment. If you are too cold, your body shuts off capillary beds in order to retain as much heat as possible at the core, to keep your most vital organs at the proper temperature.
Sweat. Sweat on your skin helps carry away heat from your body, in combination with blood flow discussed earlier.

Define and give an example of homeostasis?
Homeostasis is a natural body behavior of maintaining a constant internal environment. An example of this adaptation is sweating to cool the body once one steps into an environment that has high temperature.
How does skin helps keep body temperature constant?
skin has goosebumps on it that keep the temprature of are body constant .moreover skin release sweat that produces cooling affect and maintains body temprature.
Which biome has a constant temperature?
No, no one , nothing on this planet has a constant temperature.
Why is homeostasis important?
Homeostasis is what regulates your body temperature and keeps you at a constant temperature, for humans it is 98.6 F. Homeostasis is what causes you to sweat, and shiver. You sweat when you are hot to cool down and shiver when you try to get warm. Here's a definition: The ability of the body or a cell to seek and maintain a condition of equilibrium or stability within its internal environment when dealing with external changes.
As temperatures rise the body temperatures of what organisms rise?
As temperatures rise, the body temperatures of heterotherms also rise. This is in contrast to homeotherms, who have a constant body temperature.
What automatic response keeps body temperature constant?
Homeostasis
How does the hair maintian constant body temperature?

What does the body do to keep the temperature the same?
How do are body's maintain a constant temperature?
How does your atmosphere keeps the earth at a constant temperature and protects us from harmful rays from the sun?
The atmosphere keeps earth at constant temperature. It is due to ozone protection which also avoids global warming.

Could a fish light be used for a turtle?
No, I would go out and buy a light used for turtles. A turtle needs constant, warm light that keeps body temperature regulated.
