GlossaryThermoregulation

process of maintaining stable internal body temperature

Thermoregulation is the process by which an organism maintains its internal body temperature within a certain range, even when the surrounding temperature is different. This involves physiological mechanisms like sweating, shivering, and altering blood flow to the skin, ensuring that the body's core temperature remains stable for optimal function.
