Body Temperature Regulation
体温调节
Description
Explain how the human body detects and responds to environmental changes including temperature, including the role of the skin in temperature regulation (sweating, shivering, vasodilation, vasoconstriction)
Mastery Evidence
- Explains what homeostasis means in the context of body temperature
- Describes at least two mechanisms the body uses to cool down and two to warm up
- Explains why maintaining a constant core body temperature is important for enzyme activity
Assessment Prompt
If your child got too hot on a summer day and started sweating, could they explain what the body is doing to cool itself down — and why it's so important to keep body temperature steady?
