Temperature Control Anterior Hypothalamus

by

Adaptions of Temperature control involve:

  1. Peripheral Vasodilation(heating) / Peripheral Vasoconstriction(cooling)
  2. Decrease(heating) / Increase(cooling) THYROID FUNCTION
  3. DECREASE(HEATING) / INCREASE(COOLING) MUSCLE CONTRACTION –> HEAT GENERATION
  4. Splanchnic vasoconstriction(heating) –> blood diverted to periperies to reduce heat
