  • Normal body temperature
    • Body temp goes back to normal
    • Body temperature rises to very hot. This is then detected by the hypothalamus.
    • Vasodilation-the  capillaries widen so a larger amount of blood can flow near the skin surface and release heat.(you sweat)The hair and hair erector muscles relax and you don't shiver.
    • Body temperature begins to get low and is detected by the hypothalamus.
    • Vasoconstriction the capillaries get smaller so larger amounts of blood can travel away from the skin surface. Heat is kept to the body.no sweat, your hair and hair erector muscles stand on end to trap an extra layer of air. Body begins to shiver and produce heat.
