Question

 Notice that the person described in the flowchart is shivering, even though his body temperature is at the normal set point = 37°C.  why he is shivering.

Body
temperature
is 37°C.
Cells that are fighting an infection release a chemical
signal that is carried by the blood to the temperature
control center. This chemical signal increases the set
point for temperature regulation to ~39°C (102°F).
Temperature control center detects that body
temperature is below the new set point.
More heat generated,
so body warms.
Body temperature increases
to the higher set point.
