AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When the body temperature falls, the blood vessels constrict, sweat glands don’t produce sweat, and shivering generates heat to warm the body. This causes heat to be retained the the body temperature to return to normal.

Detailed explanation-2: -When body temperature decreases, the metabolic rate increases to generate heat. If additional heat is required, shivering will begin to generate more heat. If the body’s core temperature increases, the sweat glands are activated. As sweat is produced and evaporates from the skin, body temperature will decrease.

Detailed explanation-3: -When your hypothalamus senses that you’re too hot, it sends signals to your sweat glands to make you sweat and cool you off. When the hypothalamus senses that you’re too cold, it sends signals to your muscles that make your shiver and create warmth. This is called maintaining homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The maintenance of homeostasis by negative feedback goes on throughout the body at all times. The human body regulates body temperature through a process called thermoregulation, in which the body can maintain its temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different.
