Temperature Regulation

Deals with the human body's temperature control mechanisms, using thermography to illustrate the normal range of body temperature as well as reactions to temperature changes. Describes the function of dermal papillae, capillaries, sweat glands, and sensory receptors in the skin and around the hypothalamus. Emphasizes variation in heat loss connected to ambient temperature as well as the rate of heat production., Deals with the human body's temperature control mechanisms, using thermography to illustrate the normal range of body temperature as well as reactions to temperature changes.
