Which of your cells respond to maintain temperature and how do they do this?

Biology

Softa [21]3 years ago

Several cells aid in maintaining and/or regulating the body temperature. Cells in the different system of the body including Sensors in the nervous system,  hypothalamus in the CNS and sweat gland in the Endocrine system. Normal body temperature usually ranges at a set point from about 36.5 to 37.5 celsius.
When the body falls below or above this set points, several cells including those aforementioned aids to stabilize the body temperature back to its set point.

When there is a deviation from the set point, the sensors in the CNS and PNS send information to the hypothalamus which regulates temperature in the brain. Blood vessels then either constrict (if cold or below body temperature) to preserve heat) and the skeletal muscles contribute by helping the body to shriver in order to raise body temperature. Contrary, blood vessels will dilate if the body temperature has risen beyond 37.5 celsius. In this case, the sweat gland helps secrete sweat to help cool down the body.

I think it is the secondary ovarian follicle that contains the secondary oocyte.The stages of the ovarian cycle that the follicle will go through includes; a primary follicle contains an oocyte and begins producing estrogen. Then the secondary oocyte contains a secondary oocyte and produces estrogen and some progesterone, then the graafian follicle develops and the secondary oocyte is released a process we call ovulation. the corpus luteum produces progesterone and some estrogen and lastly the corpus luteum degenerates.

nadezda [96]
The correct answer to this could be numerous words. The most broad term that would fit would be the Cosmos. If you are referring to more specific then you might be saying things such as Ionosphere. That is where Sputnik 1, the first satellite, was launched.
