Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Mammals regulate body temperature through various mechanisms like shivering, sweating, and metabolic rate adjustments. Skin, liver, and hypothalamus play vital roles in maintaining homeostasis.


Explanation:

Thermoregulation in Mammals:

Mammals regulate their body temperature through:

  1. Shivering and sweating to generate or release heat.
  2. Vasodilation and vasoconstriction to control blood flow near the skin.
  3. Adjusting metabolic rate to produce more or less heat based on size.

Role in Homeostasis:

  1. Skin: Regulates heat exchange with the environment.
  2. Liver: Maintains blood glucose levels.
  3. Hypothalamus: Controls body temperature and hormone secretion.
