Thermoregulation is at the basis of life maintenance. Humans do effort to maintain the central body temperature within the range of 37+/-0.2 degrees Celsius. Hypothalamus is primary thermoregulatory center. It regulate sweat gland, skin arteriole by sympathetic system and generate shivering. There may be additional central circuit that control hypothalamic output and regulate body temperature. Thermoregulation is growing in importance because development of hypothermia treatment and obesity.
