Keeping core temperature stable

Negative feedback pathway showing receptors, the thermoregulatory centre and effectors returning body temperature towards normal

Thermoregulation is the control of core body temperature within narrow limits around approximately 37 ∘C37\,^\circ\mathrm{C}37∘C. This keeps enzyme-controlled reactions and other cellular processes operating effectively.
