∙ 13y ago"The regulation of body temperature in humans and other mammals is brought about by a complex system based on feedback mechanisms. The sensors for thermoregulation are concentrated in a brain region called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus contains a group of nerve cells that functions as a thermostat, responding to body temperatures outside a normal range by activating mechanisms that promote heat loss or gain."
