Chapter 26.5, Problem 6AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
Two mechanisms for lowering body temperature and two mechanisms of raising it, regions of the hypothalamus involved in each.
Introduction:
The hypothalamus has a specialized region where the thermoregulation process starts, which is known as hypothalamic thermostat that controls the heat-loss center and heat-promoting center. Each center is regulated by two mechanisms, one is cutaneous blood flow and the other is sweat glands or insulation of hair against the cold temperature of the body.

Such as, If the temperature rises, the body loses heat by sweating or panting, via the latent heat of evaporation. If it falls, this is counteracted by increased metabolic action, by shivering and in fur or feather coated animals, by thickening the coat. Like temperature our body can sense the change in osmolarity and to maintain a stable condition body needs to persist on a certain osmolarity. Secretion of certain hormones can be stimulated by any change in the osmolarity to help maintain a certain level of osmolarity - briefly discuss the mechanism of action and biochemical function of such a hormone.arrow_forward
