Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Thermoregulation is a process of maintaining the internal body temperature in spite of varying temperature in the surrounding. It is considered as a state of equilibrium. The optimum temperature of a healthy person lies between 98 and 100° Fahrenheit. It is controlled by the hypothalamus of the brain. It sends signals to various organ systems in the body.

(You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)
