Thermoregulation: How the Body Controls Temperature

The video explains thermoregulation, a process maintaining the body's core temperature at 37°C, crucial for enzyme function and homeostasis. It details how the brain's thermoregulatory center and skin receptors monitor temperature changes. When the body overheats, responses like vasodilation and sweating help cool it down. Conversely, when cold, vasoconstriction, reduced sweating, and shivering help conserve and generate heat, ensuring optimal body temperature.
