Endocrine system

The body's response to changes in temperature involves various systems working together to maintain homeostasis. Thermoreceptors detect increased body temperature and signal the hypothalamus, which activates cooling mechanisms like dilation of skin blood vessels and sweating, leading to a decrease in temperature.

body temperature

when high

Sensor: thermoreceptors signal an increase in temperature
Integrator

Hypothalamus turns on cooling systems

Effector: Skin blood vessels dilate; increased blood flow to skin; thermal energy loss from skin

Result

Body temperature decreases; hypothalamus turns off cooling systems

Effector: sweat glands initiate sweating; evaporation of swear causes cooling

Glucagon

Liver breaks down glycogen and releases glucose to the blood

Blood glucose level rises to set point; stimulus for glucagon release diminishes

if high

Stimulus is

Rising blood glucose level

Beta cells of pancreas stimulated to release insulin into the blood

Insulin

Body cells take up more glucose

Blood glucose level declines to a set point; stimulus for insulin release diminishes

Liver takes up glucose and stores it as glycogen
