Definition

  • The regulation of body temperature, or thermoregulation, is the sum of physiological responses that keeps body temperature close to the temperature set point at the brain (∼36.8±C) and within physiological range (∼36.5±C to ∼40±C). Human body temperature is regulated at the shell (skin) and core (internal) levels. [Source: Encyclopedia of Lifestyle Medicine & Health; Body Temperature and Exercise]
