What is the correct order of body temperature regulation
through a negative feedback loop?
Body temperature exceeding 37°C → nerve cells of brain
and skin sense change → temperature regulation in the
brain center begins → sweat glands secrete sweat
, Body temperature exceeding 37°C → temperature
regulation in the brain center begins → nerve cells of
brain and skin sense change → sweat glands secrete sweat
Body temperature exceeding 37°C → nerve cells of brain
and skin sense change → sweat glands secrete sweat →
temperature regulation in the brain center begins
Body temperature exceeding 37°C → sweat glands
secrete sweat → temperature regulation in the brain center
begins → nerve cells of brain and skin sense change
Answer- Body temperature exceeding 37°C → nerve cells
of brain and skin sense change → temperature regulation
in the brain center begins → sweat glands secrete sweat
