- 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.

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.
May 1, 2023 · Effect of the environmental temperature on heat conductance from the body core to the skin. The skin is an efficient, controlled “heat radiator” system. The flow of blood to the skin is the most effective mechanism for heat transfer from the body core to the environment.

Apr 4, 2018 · We also discuss some of the key unresolved questions in this field, including: the role of temperature sensing in the brain; the molecular identity of the warm-sensor; the central representation of the labelled line for cold; and the neural substrates of thermoregulatory behavior.

Sep 1, 2015 · Current research is presented concerning the body's detection of thermal challenge, peripheral and central thermoregulatory control mechanisms, including brown adipose tissue in adult humans and temperature transduction by the relatively recently discovered transient receptor potential channels.
[8] 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.
