Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Our internal body temperature is regulated by a part of our brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus checks our current temperature and compares it with the normal temperature of about 37°C. If our temperature is too low, the hypothalamus makes sure that the body generates and maintains heat.
Detailed explanation-2: -In homeotherms, temperature homeostasis is regulated primarily in the preoptic area (POA) of the hypothalamus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thyroid hormone (TH) is best known for its role in development in animals, and for its control of metabolic heat production (thermogenesis) during cold acclimation in mammals.
