Question

____ is a part of the human temperature control system

• A. Digestive system
• B. Perspiration system
• C. Leg movement
• D. Ear

Hint:

Thermoregulation. Maintaining body temperature. Mechanisms include vasodilation/vasoconstriction (controlling blood flow to skin), sweating (evaporative cooling), shivering (heat generation), metabolic rate changes. Controlled by hypothalamus.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The human body maintains a relatively constant internal temperature (thermoregulation) through various physiological mechanisms controlled primarily by the hypothalamus in the brain
When the body temperature rises, mechanisms are activated to dissipate heat
One major mechanism is perspiration (sweating)
Sweat glands secrete sweat onto the skin surface; the evaporation of this sweat absorbs heat from the body, thus cooling it down
The "perspiration system" (sweat glands and associated neural control) is therefore a crucial part of the temperature control system for cooling
The digestive system relates to nutrient processing, leg movement generates heat, and the ear is mainly for hearing/balance
