Hypothalamus: thermoregulation Sweat glands secrete sweat, which evaporates, cooling the body. Thermostat in hypothalamus activates cooling mechanisms. Hypothalamus: thermoregulation Blood vessels in skin dilate: capillaries fill; heat radiates from skin. Body temperature decreases; thermostat shuts off cooling mechanisms. Increased body temperature Homeostasis: Internal temperature of 36–38°C Body temperature increases; thermostat shuts off warming mechanisms. Decreased body temperature Figure 40.16 The thermostatic function of the hypothalamus in human thermoregulation Blood vessels in skin constrict, reducing heat loss. Thermostat in hypothalamus activates warming mechanisms. Skeletal muscles contract; shivering generates heat.

You should now be able to: Distinguish among the following sets of terms: collagenous, elastic, and reticular fibers; regulator and conformer; positive and negative feedback; basal and standard metabolic rates; torpor, hibernation, estivation, and daily torpor. Relate structure with function and identify diagrams of the following animal tissues: epithelial, connective tissue (six types), muscle tissue (three types), and nervous tissue.
