Temperature Receptors Skin Detect Blood Detecting Endotherms Peripheal

Peripheral temperature receptors in the skin and temperature receptors in the hypothalamus detect changes in body temperature in endotherms, enabling regulatory responses.

Receptores de temperatura periféricos na pele e receptores no hipotálamo detectam mudanças na temperatura corporal em endotérmicos, permitindo respostas regulatórias.

Front Detecting temperature changes in endotherms
Back
  • peripheal temperature receptors in skin detect changes in surface temperature and temperature receptors in hypothalamus detect temperature of blood
  • skin uses both systems to respond to changes in blood temperature and possible changes that might result due to changes in external environment
