Summary Introduction

To determine: The regulation of body temperature in humans.

Introduction: In order to survive and function properly animals need to maintain an internal temperature within relatively narrow limits. The state of balanced internal environment is known as homeostasis. The body temperature is maintained within these narrow limits despite the changes in surrounding temperature through a process called thermoregulation.
