Shivering (also called shuddering) is a bodily function in response to cold and extreme fear in warm-blooded animals. When the core body temperature drops, the shivering reflex is triggered to maintain homeostasis. Skeletal muscles begin to shake in small movements, creating warmth by expending energy. Shivering can also be a response to fever ...

Shivering is a mechanism of thermoregulation, the process by which the body maintains its core internal temperature. When the body is exposed to cold, it triggers the shivering reflex. This involves rapid contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscles, which generates heat as a byproduct of increased metabolic activity. Related Terms
