Control of body temperature is an example of what?

Homeostasis.


Why is temperature control is regarded as an example of a negative feedback?

Temperature control is an example of negative feedback because the body continually works to maintain a stable internal temperature. When body temperature rises, thermoreceptors signal the brain to trigger mechanisms such as sweating to cool down the body. Conversely, when body temperature drops, thermoreceptors signal for mechanisms like shivering to generate heat and raise the temperature. This feedback loop helps regulate the body's temperature within a narrow range.


Do all vertebrates control their own body temperature?

yes they can control their body temperature


Control of body temperature is important for maintaining what?

Control of body temperature is important for maintaining homeostasis.


What is the term used to describe animals that can not control their body temperature?

Animals that do not control their body temperature but rather let the environmental temperature control it are called cold-blooded or the technical term is ectotherm.


What is an example of an organism that can control its temperature only via behavior?

An example of an organism that can control its temperature only via behavior is the common lizard (Zootoca vivipara). This ectothermic reptile relies on behavioral adaptations, such as basking in the sun to increase its body temperature or seeking shade to cool down. Unlike endothermic animals, it cannot internally regulate its body temperature, making its survival dependent on environmental cues and behaviors.


What does the sweat gland control?

The sweat glands control body temperature.


How does a turtle control its temperature?

by swimmingThe turtle, a cold blooded animal, does not control its body temperature, It takes on the temperature of its surrounding environment.


Why body temperature control is an example of antagonistic effectors?

in homeostasis an antagonistic effector is what brings about the response to the change in environment in order to keep your internal environment the same. for exampe if the core body temperature is too low the antagonistic effector is what increases your body temperature.


What type of animals use the environment to control their body temperature?

All animals use the environment to control their temperature


How do whitetail deer regulate their body temperature in winter?

Their body temperature is controlled by their environment. Mammals are endothermic. Meaning that they control their own body temperature.


Why is it necessary for the testes to be kept above body temperature?

The testicles are outside of the body for temperature control. The sperm develop best when the temperature is lower than the body temperature. If the testicles were kept at body temperature, the sperm would not develop correctly. The body has an ingenious temperature control mechanism, as well, for the testicles. If it is too hot for them, they descend and hang further away from the body. If it is too cold for them, they come up closer to the body!
