Question

1. The human body maintains a constant internal temperature of 98.2F - 98.8F What changes occur
when the hypothalamus detects a temperature of 95F? Is this a negative or positive feedback?

Answer 1

Body temperature is regulated by negative feedback. The stimulus is when the body temperature exceeds 37 degrees Celsius, the sensors are the nerve cells with endings in the skin and brain, the control is the temperature regulatory center in the brain, and the effector is the sweat glands throughout the body.
