Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -cerebral cortex. The greatest level of integration in testing the temperature of the shower occurs in the.
Detailed explanation-2: -If body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate, allowing more blood to flow near the skin’s surface. This allows heat to dissipate through the skin and into the surrounding air. The skin may also produce sweat if the body gets too hot; when the sweat evaporates, it helps to cool the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The thalamus then sends the sensory information to the cerebral cortex, the outermost layer of gray matter in the brain, where conscious perception of that water temperature begins.
