How the Human Body Regulates Temperature to Maintain Homeostasis

Michael Worden - last updated 9-24-23

Our bodies use a feedback loop to regulate their internal temperature. They are successfully maintaining homeostasis when the temperature is in a safe range - around 37.5°C, ± a few degrees.

I want to:

• Define key terms
• Learn about the Feedback Loop
• Explore the model of how our body regulates temperature
• Perform the Experiment
• View my data and analysis
