Discuss the mechanisms underlying heat production and dissipation
Elucidate the anatomical and physiological basis of temperature regulation in the human body, incorporating an analysis of thermoreceptors, hypothalamic thermoregulatory centers, and effector responses such as vasodilation, sweating, and shivering. Discuss the mechanisms underlying heat production and dissipation, as well as the integration of thermal input from peripheral and central sources to maintain normothermia. Furthermore, explore the implications for thermoregulatory dysfunction in conditions such as fever, hypothermia, and heat-related illnesses, and evaluate therapeutic strategies for temperature modulation and heat stress management.
