The regulation of temperature in mammals and birds is an example of homeostatis. Design an experiment to observe and measure processes involved in temperature homeostatis in sedentary versus athletic humans during exercise.
If the blood temperature falls too low, this is also sensed by the brain and signals are sent to the cutaneous arteries (those supplying the skin) to constrict them. Warm blood is then retained deeper in the body and less heat is lost from the surface. If this is inadequate, the brain activates shivering. Each muscle tremor in shivering releases heat energy and helps warm the body back toward its 98.6 degrees set point. • This is an example of a. a negative feedback loop b. a positive feedback loop
Describe what is meant by a trade-off in physiologicalfunctions, and give an example.
