Solution

  1. The human body should be maintained at around 37°C.
  2. Your core temperature is monitored and controlled in the thermoregulatory centre in the brain.
  3. During vasoconstriction, the blood vessels that supply your skin capillaries become narrower.
  4. Vasodilation and sweating help to reduce body temperature by increasing the transfer of energy in the form of heat from the skin to the environment.
  5. The hairs on our body stand on end when we are cold to allow air to become trapped under them.
  6. Shivering helps to raise body temperature because it requires lots of respiration which generates heat.
