You jump in a pool of cold water, and you immediately begin to shiver. Shivering is a mechanism the body induces to help maintain homeostasis when it notices a drop in temperature. What type of tissue and subsequent function does this scenario demonstrate?
a. Nervous; regulation
b. Epithelial; protection
c. Cardiac; movement
d. Connective; fat storage
Your shivering is the convulsion of muscles, and the friction of the shivering warms up the body. It's triggered by the nervous system sensing that you're cold.
