Question

What condition is shown in the diagram? Explain how the body regulate this process.

Body temperature falls
Body temperature rises
Blood vessels constrict
so that heat is conserved.
Sweat glands do not
secrete fluid. Shivering
(involuntary contraction of
muscles) generates heat,
which warms the body.
Blood vessels dilate,
resulting in heat loss to the
environment. Sweat glands
secrete fluid. As the fluid
evaporates, heat is lost
from the body.
Normal body
temperature
Heat is lost to
the environment
Heat is retained
