- 4. Body Temperature Normal Body Temperature (NBT) – 98.60F(370C) Range of NBT ----- (970F to 990F) Rectal Temp ----- (0.50F to 10F) above the Oral Rectal Temp reflects the internal body Temp (Core Body Temp) Core Body Temp remain almost constant Skin Temp (Shell Temp)-----Variable
- 5. Temperature Homeostasis Keep the body temp within a very narrow range Range of NBT (970F to 990F) Temperatures above this: denature enzymes and block metabolic pathways Temperatures below this: slow down metabolism and affect the brain.

- 14. Thermoregulation Temperature is regulated by nervous feedback mechanisms Thermoregulatory center located in the Hypothalamus Thermoregulatory regulatory responses include Autonomic Somatic Endocrine Behavioural changes
- 15. Feedback system 1) Receptor ◦ Sensor that responds to changes (stimuli) 2) Control Center ◦ Sets range of values ◦ Evaluates input and ◦ Sends output 3) Effector- ◦ Receives output from control centre ◦ Produces a response
- 16. Body Temperature Control System Hypothalamus ◦ Acts as a thermostat ◦ Receives nerve impulses from cutaneous thermoreceptors ◦ Thermoreceptors Cold &Heat Hypothalamus- also has thermoreceptors called central thermoreceptors These detect changes in blood temperature
