Question
Chapter 26.5, Problem 6AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
Two mechanisms for lowering body temperature and two mechanisms of raising it, regions of the hypothalamus involved in each.
Introduction:
The hypothalamus has a specialized region where the thermoregulation process starts, which is known as hypothalamic thermostat that controls the heat-loss center and heat-promoting center. Each center is regulated by two mechanisms, one is cutaneous blood flow and the other is sweat glands or insulation of hair against the cold temperature of the body.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following responses is an effector activated by the hypothalamus when the body temperature is lower than the set point?
skin blood vessels dilate
skeletal muscles contract
move to a warmer location or put on a sweater
weat glands initiate sweating
true or false and explain why. All physiological processes that keep the body functioning within set points require negative feedback control.

- Russell is 72 years old and is still working part-time as a professor. He has noticed some arm and hand shaking in the past year, but assumed it must be related to low or high blood sugar levels because he has had some issues with that in the past. However, the shaking/twitching has become more consistent lately and does not seem to be correlated with his diet. Russell’s doctor said that the stress of his job could be the problem, so he took the entire summer off from teaching.When he returned to work in the fall, Russell and his students noticed that his handwriting has become nearly illegible. Drinking a cup of coffee without spilling had also become a challenge. Russell returned to his doctor, who performed a physical exam and a few tests. Here are the notable results: shuffling gait, mild bradykinesia, mild voice tremor, intermittent rigidity of the limbs, and normal EEG.Which of Russell’s physical exam findings could be related to a brain condition?arrow_forwardRussell is 72 years old and is still working part-time as a professor.
