Thermoregulation
- Thermoregulation is the biological mechanism responsible for maintaining a steady internal body temperature. The three mechanisms of thermoregulation are efferent responses, afferent sensing, and central control. The thermoregulation system includes the hypothalamus, sweat glands, circulatory system, and skin.

Jul 30, 2023 · Thermoregulation is the maintenance of physiologic core body temperature by balancing heat generation with heat loss. A healthy individual will have a core body temperature of 37 +/- 0.5°C (98.6 +/- 0.9°F), the temperature range needed for the body's metabolic processes to function correctly.[1]

May 1, 2023 · This optimum temperature is called the "set point" of the temperature control mechanism—that is, all the temperature mechanisms continually attempt to bring the body temperature back to this set point.

Apr 4, 2018 · In this review, we describe the neural mechanisms that regulate body temperature in mammals. First, we outline some of the basic principles of the thermoregulatory system as a whole. Next, we summarize what is known about the molecules, cells, and tissues that measure temperature at different sites in the body, and the pathways by which they ...

Oct 8, 2020 · The body makes tiny shifts and changes that keep it at a healthy temperature depending on the environment and the body’s output. In the brain, the hypothalamus controls this reflex. It also plays roles in hormone secretion, sleep, and other functions.
The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain linking the endocrine system to the nervous system, [9] and more specifically by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus and the adjacent preoptic area regions of the hypothalamus.
