Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As ambient temperatures increase, homeotherms use evaporative cooling through sweating and/or panting to regulate body temperatures, and also vasodilate surface blood vessels to promote heat loss (Robertshaw 2006).

Detailed explanation-2: -Your hypothalamus is a section of your brain that controls thermoregulation. When the hypothalamus senses your internal temperature becoming too low or high, it sends signals to your muscles, organs, glands, and nervous system. They respond in various ways to help return your temperature to its typical levels.
