Objectives

Describe the
role of the skin
in Differentiate
thermoregulatio between
n. vasodilation and
vasoconstriction.
 HOMEOSTASIS
•Homeo – same • Stasis – state

This is the maintenance of a constant internal environment despite

changes in the external environment.
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
A mechanism of control that reverses an initial change away
from a ‘set point’ or normal conditions
THERMOREGULAT
ION
A PROCESS THAT ALLOWS YOUR BODY TO
MAINTAIN ITS CORE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE.

 Body Temperature
• Normal internal (core) body
temperature is 370C.
• Temperatures above this:
• denature enzymes and block
metabolic pathways
• Temperatures below this:
• slow down metabolism and affect
the brain.
