thermoregulation

Question 1

physiological responses to hypothermia

Answer 1

shivering: requires energy, increase metabolic and heat production

piloerection: hair or fur stands up, involuntary response,

Question 2

physiological responses to hyperthermia

Answer 2

perspiration : liquid sweat realsed from sweat glands, energy is needed for liquid to turn into gas used by the heat energy from blood vessels which cools us down because ur releasing it

Question 3

write a low temp stimulus response on paper

Answer 3

low temp - thermoreceptors detect drop in temperature in the skin - hypothalamus sends signals and hormones - blood vessels adipose tissue and skeletal muscles- reduce flow of blood, adipose tissue produce heat and shivering

Question 4

write stimulus response for hyperthermia

Answer 4

increase in body temperature - thermoreceptors in skin detect change - hypothalmus sends - signals- blood vessels - blood vessels dilate liquid sweat is relased from sweat glands releasing heat enegry which cools down ur body
