Which is the correct sequence of bodily responses to decreased temperature? 1. Thermostat in hypothalamus activates heating mechanisms. 2. Body temperature decreases. 3. Body temperature increases. 4. Muscles cause shivering, and blood vessels in skin constrict. 3, 1, 4, 2 1, 2, 3, 4 3, 4, 1, 2 2, 1, 4, 3

Accurately complete the sentences on the right and each word phrase from the left to click drag. Thermoreceptors in the body detect decrease in temperature. The anterior pituitary gland responds by secreting thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH). TRH targets the hypothalamus and stimulates it to secrete thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH then stimulates the thyroid gland, which secretes T3 and T4. The increased cellular activity stimulated by T3 and T4 generates heat, which raises body temperature. The feedback system decreases TSH (arguably the thyroid gland) when body temperature is increased.

It is winter. You are very cold. Your body systems cooperate and respond to the cold in three ways in an effort to keep you warm. Choose the answer that is NOT correct. Your nervous system slows down and the impulses that move your muscles also slows, helping to retain heat. The body will try to generate heat itself by allowing muscles and organs to shake within the body: this is known as shivering. Blood flow is diverted from muscle tissue to fat. The rapid decomposition fat (adipose) tissue generates heat energy that helps to raise the body's temperature. Cold causes blood vessels to constrict and blood flow resistance to increase. Reducing blood flow to the skin and the extremities reduces heat transferred to the environment.
