About Thermoregulation
Thermoregulation maintains body temperature through negative feedback controlled mainly by the hypothalamus. It covers vasodilation and vasoconstriction, sweating, shivering, changes in metabolic heat production and behavioural responses, while distinguishing heat loss by radiation, conduction, convection and evaporation from temperature regulation itself.
