Detailed explanation-1: -The human body maintains a temperature of about 98.6°F (37°C) using various physical processes. These include sweating to lower the body temperature, shivering to raise it, and narrowing or relaxing blood vessels to alter blood flow.
Detailed explanation-2: -Shivering-nerve impulses are sent by the hypothalamus to the skeletal muscles to bring about rapid contractions that generate heat. Shivering therefore helps raise the body temperature. Increase in metabolic rate-the liver produces extra heat in order to raise the temperature of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Yes, sweating is an example of homeostasis. In addition, shivering once cold is an additional associate degree example of equilibrium. Homeostasis plays a significant role in the correct functioning of the body.
