Question

Humans are categorised as ‘‘regulators’’. Explain how they maintain a constant normal body temperature.

Answer 1

by maintaining homeostasis condition.

Humans are categorised as regulators :

• human beings are able to maintain homeostatis condition ( constant body temperature) by physiological and sometimes by behavioral means.

• biologists believe the success of mammals is largely due to their ability to maintain a constant body temperature whether they live in extreme cold or hot climate.

• we maintain a constant body temperature of 37°C , in summer when there is hot outside we sweat resulting in evaporative cooling to bring down body temperature.

• in winter we shiver, a kind of body exercise to generate body heat and raises body temperature and maintains homeostasis condition in our body.
