Body Temperature
Reference
Conclusion
3. Effect On Growth & Tissue Development
Role in normal body growth &
skeletal maturation –
• Bone development
• Teeth development.
Role in tissue differentiation and
maturation.
Role in development of nervous
tissue.
4. Effect On Metabolism
Carbohydrates – increases glucose
absorption & metabolism.
Fats – mobilisation of fats from
adipose tissue decreases plasma
cholesterol levels.
Proteins –physiologically anabolic
effect & in high concentration
catabolic effect.
Vitamins – increases quantity of
enzymes so causes vitamin
deficiency.
5. Cardiovascular Effects
Tachycardia.
Increases force of cardiac contraction.
Increases cardiac output.
Blood Pressure – systolic increases &
diastolic decreases.
Vasodilatation & increased blood
flow to tissue.
6. Effects On Nervous System
Enhance wakefulness and alertness.
Enhances memory & learning
capacity.
Increases speed and amplitude of
peripheral reflexes.
7. Effect on Body Temperature
Thyroid Hormone Induced Thermogenesis
Increases the heat production in the body,
by accelerating various cellular metabolic
process and increasing BMR.
During hypersecretion of thyroxine, the
body temperature increases greatly,
resulting in excess sweating.
