Abstract

Humans are homoeothermic, which means that internal body temperature is physiologically regulated to keep it nearly constant even when environmental temperature changes. Although a person’s temperature varies from date to date, and even from hour to hour, these fluctuations are usually no more than about 10 C. only during prolonged heavy exercise, fever due to illness, or extreme conditions of heat or cold due body temperatures deviate from the normal range of 36,1 to 37.8 0 C. body temperature reflects a careful balance between heat production and heat loss. The preoptic-anterior area of the hypothalamus houses the thermoregulatory center. It acts as a thermostat, monitoring temperature and accelerating heat loss or heat production as needed.
