Students have asked these similar questions
Using the Venn diagram compare and contrast how thermoregulation in the human body is comparable to a thermostat regulating temperature in a home or building.
What is thermoregulation and why is it necessary for the human body to function properly?
List two physiological responses the human body takes to when its core temperature gets too high.
Briefly explain how each works to reduce core temperature.
Explain why one of these responses will not work if the air temperature is extremely high.
Explain why one of these responses will not work if the relative humidity is extremely high.
How would a decrease in temperature affect your metabolic rate, What does this occur?
