exposed to for a prolonged duration - enough for the organisms core temperature to either increase or decrease. The change in temperature will be identified by the two receptors involved in thermoregulation; the hypothalamus and the peripheral thermoreceptors. The peripheral thermo-receptor is located in the dermal layer of the skin and is able to detect a change in external temperatures - which is the stimulus. The hypothalamus is a portion of the brain that is the control centre for thermoregulation

affects both eyes. Retinoschisis results when the light-sensing cells at the back of the eye (retina) split from the layer of cells that send vision signals to the brain. The condition causes small fluid-filled sacs (cysts) to form in the side (peripheral) portions of the retina. The cysts can merge together and cause the layers of the retina to split. In some cases‚ this condition can lead to separation of the retina from the back of the eye (retinal detachment). If this occurs‚ it can cause
