regulation of body temperature

This chapter includes the mechanism of maintainance of core and skin body temperature.

IN THE END OF LESSON,students will be able to define

COre temperature: 97f to 99f

skin temperature:55f to 103f

MECHANISM OF:

  • ​heat generation by(BMR,HORMONES,MASCULAR ACTVITY,SNS)
  • heat loss by (conduction,evaporation,sweating,panting,radiation) 

 sweating involves area

  • anterior hypothalamus
  • preoptic area
  • spinal cord
  • SNS
