152
Q

Temperature Regulation:

A
  • Body temperature drops
  • Sensory receptors detect this and signal the hypothalmus (Component of the brain)
  • Hypothalamus alert nerve impulses in blood vessels in the skin to “decrease” the inside opening of the vessles.
  • This decrease amount of blood circulating to the surface of the body.
  • Less heat is released through skin
  • Nerve impulses are sent to SKELETAL muscles, causing Shivering
  • Nerve impulses are sent to smooth muscles of hair follicles , causing “ Goose Bumps”

Body Temperature RISES

  • Sensory receptors detect this and signal the hypothalamus
  • Hypothalamus alert nerve impulses in blood vessels in the skin to “increase” the inside opening of the vessels
  • This increases the amount of blood circulating to the body surface
  • More heat is released through the skin
