Temperature Regulation And Excretion
Muhtasari
Your core body temperature holds steady at about 37 degrees Celsius whether you are standing in a snowstorm or running a marathon, and your blood glucose stays within a narrow band whether you have just eaten a meal or skipped one. Neither of these is an accident: both are the output of automatic control systems working every second to keep your internal environment stable.
This lesson builds the machinery behind that stability. You will learn how the skin regulates temperature, how the kidneys filter blood and balance its water content, how the liver and pancreas keep blood glucose steady, and how negative feedback ties all of these systems together into one coherent principle.
