Detailed explanation-1: -Thermoregulation is a mechanism by which mammals maintain body temperature with tightly controlled self-regulation independent of external temperatures. Temperature regulation is a type of homeostasis and a means of preserving a stable internal temperature in order to survive.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sweating: Your sweat glands release sweat, which cools your skin as it evaporates. This helps lower your internal temperature. Vasodilatation: The blood vessels under your skin get wider. This increases blood flow to your skin where it is cooler-away from your warm inner body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypothalamus Controls Thermoregulation. The hypothalamus controls thermoregulatory networks leading to an increase or decrease in the core body temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Types of Thermoregulation. There are two primary responses to fluctuating ambient temperatures (TA) exhibited by animals: poikilothermy and homeothermy (Figure 1).
