Answer and Explanation:

The hypothalamus contains the central thermoreceptors which detect blood temperature as well as the thermoregulatory centre. The skin of organism contains peripheral thermoreceptors which detect the environmental temperature.

Increase in body temperature above the normal initiates the appropriate corrective mechanisms that include sweating, lowering of hair for mammals, vasodilation of superficial blood vessels and decrease in metabolic rates. This has an overall effect of causing the body temperature to fall and the normal body temperature is restored.

Sweat is secreted by sweat glands that evaporates from the surface of the body cooling the body as it absorbs latent heat of vaporization. Superficial blood vessels vasodilate so that more blood flows near the surface to encourage heat loss. Hair is lowered so that it lies against the body surface. This encourages heat loss from the body to the external environment.

Check Your Understanding<br> Question: What is an adaptation?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

an adaptation can be defined as an inherited trait which confers an evolutionary advantage to the organism in a certain environment

Explanation:

An adaptation, also known as an evolutionary adaptation, can be defined as any physiological and/or morphological inherited trait related to the improved evolutionary fitness of one organism in a particular environment. An adaptation improves the chances of survival and reproduction in a certain environment, thereby organisms carrying the adaptation have more chances to produce descendants and pass their genes to the next generation. Some classical examples of evolutionary adaptations include the long necks of giraffes that help them to eat leaves at the top of trees, light bones of flying birds, etc.
