thermoregulation Quick reference
The Oxford Dictionary of Sports Science & Medicine (3 ed.)
...Maintenance of a relatively constant body core temperature. Thermoregulation may involve behavioural and physiological processes ( see thermotaxis ). Skin thermoreceptors monitor environmental temperatures for behavioural thermoregulation involving voluntary behavioural responses initiated by the cortex of the brain. The hypothalamus contains thermoreceptors involved in physiological...
