denatured this is an irreversible change. When there is an extreme increase in internal body temperature e.g. to 40 degrees celcius‚ skin and blood warmth receptors send a message to the hypothalamus that there is an increase in body temperature. The thermostat centre in the anterior hypothalamus activates the cooling mechanism through nerve impulses (effectors) which are sent to the required region. Therefore cooling responses will begin to re-establish homeostasis. One of these cooling responses to re-establish

I think that there has been a increase in the production of acid rain‚ due to the fact that the country as a
