Question

Differentiate between physiological and behavioral responses for thermoregulation in humans.

Answer 1

Answer:

 is a process that allows your body to maintain its core internal temperature. All thermoregulation mechanisms are designed to return your body to homeostasis. ... If your body temperature rises as high as 107.6°F (42 °C), you can suffer brain damage or even death

Thermoregulation is important to organisms because the bodies of plants and animals function best at specific temperature ranges, and if body temperature slips too far outside its ideal temperature range, the organism will die. For humans, the ideal body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius, or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 2

Difference between physiological and behavioral responses for thermoregulation in humans are as follows:

• In case of psychological responses, by restricting blood flow, core body temperature and skin temperature are increased and decreased by reactive control respectively.

• In case of behavioral thermoregulatory, the mechanisms work as removing and adding like colorectal distension receives response from skin vasoconstrictor.
