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: -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 hypothalamus helps keep the body’s internal functions in balance. It helps regulate: Appetite and weight. Body temperature.
