What regulates human body temperature?

Answer 1

Through negative feedback of homeostatic control.

1. Stimulus (cold/hot) causes change in variables (body temperature)

2. Change detected by receptors

3. Info gets sent through afferent pathway to control center

4. Response from control center is then sent to effector through efferent pathway

5. Regains homeostatic balance

Answer 2

The body regulates temperature through a physiologic process called negative feedback mechanism. It involves the skin(which has a thermosensitive receptor) sending an impulse or message to the hypothalamus in the brain. The hypothalamus then send an impulse to the different body parts. For example, in a cold weather the blood vessels constrict, behavioural changes occur i.e covering self with a blanket, closing nearby windows and doors e.t.c. When all these occur and the body temperature is back to normal, an impulse is sent again to the hypothalamus that the temperature has been regulated. Then, again the hypothalamus inhibits the process.

Answer 3

Glands or There are several. One is sweating by the sudoriferous glands in the skin to cool the body. Another is muscle contraction which causes body temperature to rise. Then there is the hypothalamus that regulates homeostasis and body temperature.

Answer 4

Human body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus in the brain. The hypothalamus acts as the body's thermostat, adjusting temperature by signaling the body to either produce or release heat. Blood vessels, sweat glands, and shivering are mechanisms the body uses to maintain a normal temperature around 98.6°F (37°C).

Answer 5

There main one is perspiration. This is where sweat glands in the skin secrete sweat and as it evaporates it cools the skin.
