Your body temperature begins to rise during strenuous exercise in hot weather. specialized nerve cells on the skin detect an inc
rease in temperature; your brain detects an increase in blood temperature. you begin to sweat and as the sweat evaporates, more latent heat of vaporization is removed from your body and you cool down.
Receptors are organs or cells that receive information about some changes in the environment. Receptors respond to the stimulus such as heat, light or environmental stimuli by transmitting or opposing the stimuli. This way homeostasis is maintained. From the question given above, the skin and brain acts as receptors in maintaining homeostasis.
