Question
Chapter 1.6, Problem 15WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine: The body structures that act as a receptor, control center, and effector that help in regulating temperature.
Introduction
Homeostasis is a self-regulatory process that helps in stabilizing the internal environment by adjusting the conditions of the body for survival. The homeostatic system has three components Receptor, control system, and effector. The regulation of the body temperature is essential for the survival of the body.

- Describe the physiological responses to a cold environment.arrow_forwardWhat detects a change in core body temperature?arrow_forwardWhen body temperature decreases below the normal range, thermoreceptors in the skin and hypothalamus detect the decrease in body temperature. The heat-promoting center of the hypothalamus is activated, which sends signals to blood vessels and skeletal muscles. In response, blood vessels in the skin constrict and skeletal muscles shiver. Determine the part of this negative feedback loop that serves as the control center. O thermoreceptors O hypothalamus blood vessels and skeletal muscles O body temperaturearrow_forward
- Draw a negative feedback loop for maintaining homeostasis for thermoregulation where your body temperature is above the set point.
