Summary Introduction
To write:
A hypothesis that explains the reason for “shivering “when cold may promote homeostasis’
Introduction:
Homeostasis signifies the capability towards a comparatively steady equilibrium amongst interdependent elements, mainly sustained by physiological procedures.

Describe the steps in the homeostatic feedback system activated to ensure normal body temperature is maintained when exposed to a hot external temperature (e.g., 42 degrees Celsius).
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion
An example of acclimatization is:
Group of answer choices
long limbs
high body mass
short limbs
shivering
After a long, hot run together, your friend tells you that you should dunk your head into a cooler of water to lower your body temperature more rapidly, rather than sitting and waiting to cool down. What do you think? Form a hypothesis, about how the ice-cold water might affect the rate at which your body temperature returns to normal. How could you test your hypothesis? Explain your answer.
