What condition is shown in the diagram? Explain how the body regulate this process.
During a bacterial infection, the pathogen and the immune system send signals to the hypothalamus suggesting that temperature is set too low. In which of the following ways would the body respond?
Sweating
Breathing heavily
Shivering
Laying out splayed on the bed
About fever, it is CORRECT to affirm that:
Fever is beneficial because it increases the metabolic activity of immune cells,
which can kill microbes faster.
Any increase in body temperature is considered fever.
Cytokines cause the hypothalamus to release prostaglandins that reset the
hypothalamus' thermostat to a higher temperature.
LPS is a pyrogen and can induce fever.
