Question
Chapter 25, Problem 30CP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The role of following parts of the hypothalamus in thermoregulation: preoptic area, heat-promoting center, and heat-losing center.
Introduction:
The ability to maintain a constant body temperature is known as thermoregulation. It is controlled by some portions of the hypothalamus, such as preoptic area, heat promoting center and heats losing center. The preoptic area stimulates the other two parts of the thalamus.
