Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Core temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus (in the brain), which is often called the body’s thermostat. The hypothalamus responds to various temperature receptors located throughout the body and makes physiological adjustments to maintain a constant core temperature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Isometric contraction of skeletal muscles, called shivering, transfers mechanical heat to the body core while vasoconstriction of peripheral vessels reduces heat loss from the integument (Ivanov 2006).
