Resumen del Recurso
Thermoregulation - GCSE Biology
Vasoconstriction
Occurs of core body temp. starts to fall
Smooth muscle in arteriole walls contracts
Arteriole constricts
Less blood flows through capillaries close to the surface of the skin
Blood is redirected through shunt vessels in lower levels of the skin
Reduces the rate of heat loss from the body
Vasodilation
Occurs if core body temp. starts to rise
Smooth muscle in arteriole walls relaxes
Arteriole dilates
More blood flows through capillaries close to surface of skin
Increases rate of heat loss from the body
Goosebumps
Occurs when core body temp. starts to fall
Each hair has a tiny muscle attached to the base
This is called the Pili erector muscle
The muscle contracts and the hair is pulled upwards
This traps an insulating layer of still air
This reduces the rate of heat loss from the body
Shivering
Occurs when core body temp. starts to fall
Muscles require energy to contract
This energy is supplied by respiration
During respiration some energy is always lost as heat energy
During shivering, the muscles contract repeatedly
The rate of respiration increases, and heat is generated
This reduces the rate of heat loss from the body
Sweating
Occurs if core body temp. starts to rise
Glands in the skin start to produce sweat
Water in the sweat evaporates
In order to do this, it must absorb heat from the body
Increases the rate of heat loss from the body
