Maintaining body temperature within normal range by adjusting clothing and modifying environment

The skin and temperature control

The normal core body  temperature  is  37°C . The hypothalamus is the regulator of our

 temperature .  

If the body is cold the body starts to shiver to produce more heat w/c increase the rate of respiration .Blood vessel narrowing  where supply of blood is not normal w/c we called vasoconstriction. You may wear jackets, sweater and blanket to maintain the body

temperature especially during cold weather . 

If the body is hot blood vessel dilate and blood suplly is higher w/c we called vasodilation .Sweating occurs we can wear thin clothes such as "sando" to make our body heat loss in balance specially during hot weather.
