Body Temperature Regulation

Science · Organisms & Life Processes · conceptual

Explain how the human body detects and responds to environmental changes including temperature, including the role of the skin in temperature regulation (sweating, shivering, vasodilation, vasoconstriction)

What mastery looks like

  • Explains what homeostasis means in the context of body temperature
  • Describes at least two mechanisms the body uses to cool down and two to warm up
  • Explains why maintaining a constant core body temperature is important for enzyme activity

Check your understanding

If Body Temperature Regulation got too hot on a summer day and started sweating, could they explain what the body is doing to cool itself down — and why it's so important to keep body temperature steady?
