    Study Notes

    Regulation of Body Temperature

    • Normal body temperature is 36.7-37°C (0.6°C higher if rectal).
    • Core body temperature is 36.7-37°C, but can vary with factors like circadian rhythm and menstrual cycle.
    • Reproductive females have a slightly lower body temperature during the postovulatory phase.
    • Infants do not shiver to regulate temperature, instead rely on brown fat for non-shivering thermogenesis.
    • Temperature control involves sensors, pathways, integration centres, and effectors.

    Temperature Controlling System

    • Sensors: Thermoreceptors (in skin, organs) detect temperature changes.
    • Afferent pathway: Nerve signals carry thermal information to the brain.
    • Integrating centre: Hypothalamus regulates temperature.
    • Efferent pathway: Nerve signals are sent to effectors.
    • Effectors: Muscles (shivering), blood vessels (vasodilation/vasoconstriction), sweat glands, and behaviour.

    Effect of Temperature Changes

    • Cold Stimuli: Increase heat production (shivering), decrease heat loss (vasoconstriction).
    • Warm Stimuli: Increase heat loss (vasodilation, sweating), decrease heat production.
    • Behavioural responses also play vital roles (dressing, body posture changes, changing environmental settings).

    Hypothalamus's role

    • Heat-sensitive neurons in the anterior hypothalamus receive signals from peripheral receptors and react to cold or heat.
    • The posterior hypothalamus integrates information about body temperature.
    • This centre reacts to signals from peripheral receptors to initiate vasoconstriction or vasodilation.
    • The hypothalamus triggers sweating for heat loss or shivering for increased heat generation.

    Other Factors Influencing Body Temperature

    • The central nervous system is involved in regulating temperature.
    • Some nervous system commands aren't directly part of temperature regulation but are influenced by changing body temperature. These include adjusting blood flow patterns and metabolism.
