why is body temperature a feedback mechanism?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Another good example of negative feedback mechanism is temperature control. The hypothalamus, which monitors the body temperature, is capable of determining even the slightest variation of normal body temperature (37 degrees Celsius). Response to such variation could be stimulation of glands that produce sweat to reduce the temperature or signaling various muscles to shiver to increase body temperature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostasis http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/thermo/heatreg.html Welcome to Openstudy ^_^
