Control centerThe brain detects thedeviation from the setpoint and signals effectororgans.
ReceptorsThermoreceptors sendsignals to the control center.
EffectorsSkin blood vessels dilateand sweat glands secrete.
StimulusBody temperature rises above normal.
ResponseBody heat is lost to surroundings,temperature drops toward normal.
too high
too low
Normal bodyTemperature37oC (98.6oF)
StimulusBody temperature drops below normal.
ResponseBody heat is conserved,temperature rises toward normal.
ReceptorsThermoreceptors sendsignals to the control center.
EffectorsSkin blood vessels constrict andsweat glands remain inactive.
Effectorsgenerates body heat.
Control centerThe brain detects thedeviation from the set pointand signals effector organs.
If body temperaturecontinues to drop, controlcenter signals muscles tocontract involuntarily.
