a) What is Thermoregulation, and how does it affect the body's health?
b) What are common alterations related to thermoregulation?
Ans) a) Thermoregulation is a process that allows body to maintain its core internal temperature.
- If body temperature rises as high as 107.6°F (42 °C), it can cause brain damage or even death.
- Many factors can affect body's temperature, such as spending time in cold or hot weather conditions.
b) The hypothalamus works with other parts of the body's temperature-regulating system, such as the skin, sweat glands and blood vessels — the vents, condensers and heat ducts of the body's heating and cooling system. Water evaporating from the skin cools the body, keeping its temperature in a healthy range.
Alterations related to thermoregulation:
- Differences in body between heat gain and heat loss.
- Core temperature is higher at skin's surface. Body heat is
generated in the tissues of the body transferred to the skin's
surface by the blood, then released into environment surrounding
body.
- It is the temperature of the deep tissues or the core of the body
that is regulated by the thermoregulatory center.
