    gives us sensation‚ due to the nerves in the skin. If the skin is harmed from heat‚ the nerves attached to the skin will send neurotransmitters to the central nervous system which will cause a response by moving the skin away from danger. In thermoregulation ‚ the skin contains sweat glands that help to produced sweat. The sweat helps the body to cool down by evaporating as gas‚ thereby decrease the temperature of the body. There are also lysozymes in the sweat that is involved in phagocytosis that

    body’s’ compartments at the proper levels. The proper balance of water and electrolytes is essential for optimal physiologic functioning. Among the many roles water plays it also acts as a building material‚ a carrier for waste and nutrients in thermoregulation among other functions. Water is the one primary nutrient that is extremely essential for body hydration‚ it is a fact that the human body can only survive about 3 days without water – the body can last a lot longer without food than the essential

    temperature‚ his body will begin to send signals to conserve and generate heat. This can be done through vasoconstriction which keeps sweat glands inactive and conserves heat‚ and also by shivering which generate heat through muscle contractions. 3. Thermoregulation‚ a homeostatic process‚ is responsible for initiating and controlling the physiological responses helping to keep Joel warm. His body temperature is being monitored by his hypothalamus which has triggered his sympathetic vasomotor center to initiate

    have a negative feedback; the response needs to counteract the stimulus. The Endocrine and Nervous System play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis through negative feedback as they coordinate the responses in your body and help with thermoregulation. Thermoregulation is the way that the body keeps its internal temperature at a safe level. When the body is exposed to low temperature‚ thermoreceptors in the hypothalamus detect blood temperature and thermoreceptors in the skin detect skin temperature
