TEMPERATURE REGULATION in the HUMAN BODY by Professor Fink

In this Video Lecture, Professor Fink describes the principles of Temperature Regulation. The 3 major sources of Heat in the body are identified (Cellular Respiration, Muscular Activity & Assimilation of Food), followed by the 3 major routes of Heat Loss (Radiative Heat Loss, Evaporative Heat Loss & Breathing). Professor Fink then describes 4 Homeostatic Reflexes that are activated to raise the Body Temperture, followed by 4 Homeostatic Reflexes that are activated to lower the Body Temperature. Reference is made to the Thermoregulatory Reflexc Center in the Hypothalamus, the Set-Point, cutaneous vasodilation & vasoconstriction, sweating, shivering, and hormonal changes associated with acclimatization.
