Temperature Control
Akopọ
Walk out of an air-conditioned room into a hot street and almost nothing about you changes. Your skin flushes, you start to feel damp, and within a few minutes you are uncomfortable. What has not changed is the number that matters: the temperature deep inside your chest and skull, which your body defends near 37 °C whether the air outside is at 5 °C or 40 °C. Enzymes are the reason. Let the core drift a few degrees either way and the reactions that keep you alive slow down or stop entirely.
This lesson follows the control system that does the defending. You will find out where in the brain the decision is made, what two separate sets of receptors it listens to, and why the skin is the organ that carries out almost every instruction. You will learn what really widens when someone says a person's blood vessels have dilated, why a layer of sweat only cools you once it evaporates, and why a shivering muscle is warming you with a chemical reaction you already know by name.

- Body temperature is monitored and controlled by the thermoregulatory centre in the brain. The thermoregulatory centre has receptors sensitive to the temperature of the blood flowing through the brain. The name of the centre in the brain (hypothalamus) is not required.
- Temperature receptors in the skin send impulses to the thermoregulatory centre, giving information about skin temperature.
- If the core body temperature is too high: blood vessels supplying the skin capillaries dilate so that more blood flows through the capillaries and more energy is transferred from the skin to the environment; sweat glands release more sweat, which cools the body as sweat evaporates. Sweating helps to cool the body. More water is lost when it is hot, and more fluid has to be taken through drink or food to balance this loss.
- If the core body temperature is too low: blood vessels supplying the skin capillaries constrict to reduce the flow of blood through the capillaries; muscles may ‘shiver’ - their contraction needs respiration, which transfers some energy to warm the body.
