Thermoregulation
negative feedback loop
-
receptor: Thermoreceptors in the skin (external temperature) and hypothalamus (blood/core temperature).
-
Effector: Muscles, sweat glands, blood vessels
-
TOO HOT / Hyperthermia
above 38 degrees
Arrector pili muscle
Makes hair flatten, sweat os generated and water can cool down body
sweat cools down body, evaporation is a loss of heat
evaporation of sweat is endothermic, and cools the surrondings
Blood vessels enlarge
Gets blood closer to the environment, allowing them to cool down
Thyroken (hormone)
Involved in metabolic rate, slows down, less ATP, more sluggish, less movement
behavioral: seeks shade, take off clothes, drink water
if the body fails to lose enough heat, goes above 40 degrees, risk of organ damage
TOO COLD / Hypothermia
below 36 degrees
Arrector pili muscle
Hair stands up, creates an. insulating barrier, slows doen heat loss from skin to the environment.
Blood vessels restrict, and move further away
loses less heat to the environment, staying warmer.
Thyroxene (hormone)
Involved in metabolic rate, and increases to make more ATP
-
-
Behavioural: Put on clothing, curl up, move to warmth.
