monitors the core body tempreture
thermo regulatery system
1 of 8
body too hot, starts sweating, using energy
turning water liquid into water vapour.
2 of 8
arteriols dilate to supply capillarity with greater blood flow
vasoditation, cools body down.
3 of 8
more blood flowing near surface
easier for heat to be radiated to surroundings and cool you down
4 of 8
normal core body temperature
37 degrees C
5 of 8
constricts Arterioles so less blood is near the surface
vasoconstriction, reduces radiation to surroundings. cools body down
6 of 8
muscle contraction releasing heat energy,
shivering to keep warm.
7 of 8
more fur in winter for animals
traps more air as an insulator to keep warm.
