Application Question 2- Body temperature homeostasis

              When the person was infected  corona virus the patient having the symptom of high temperature. During a fever, the body is maintaining a temperature of 101°F, it is actually operating within a negative feedback loop.The hypothalamus, a part of the brain, acts as the body’s thermostat and detects the elevated temperature. Chemical signals are released to the brain, alerting it to the increased temperature.In response, the hypothalamus triggers various physiological mechanisms to reduce the body temperature and restore it to the normal range.These efforts include sweating and vasodilation (expansion of blood vessels), which aim to bring the temperature back to normal. The normal body temperature typically hovers around 98.6°F (37.0°C). During a fever, a new set point temporarily shifts upward (from 98.6°F to 101°F) due to infection.The negative feedback loop then works to bring the elevated temperature back toward this new set point. Maintaining a temperature of 101°F during a fever example of rheostasis, where the body adjusts its set point to respond to specific conditions.The negative feedback loop ensures that deviations from this adjusted set point are corrected, promoting overall health and stability.
