environment at a constant level orenvironment at a constant level or
between narrow limits.between narrow limits.
 Involves nervous and endocrine systems:Involves nervous and endocrine systems:
– Receptors monitor level of “variable”Receptors monitor level of “variable”
– Brain regulates level of variableBrain regulates level of variable
– Effectors bring about changes as directed byEffectors bring about changes as directed by
the brainthe brain

 Body Temperature (Thermoregulation)Body Temperature (Thermoregulation)
 Blood glucose concentrationBlood glucose concentration
 Leptin and Clinical ObesityLeptin and Clinical Obesity

endocrineendocrine

ThermoregulationThermoregulation
Thermoreceptors send impulses to hypothalamus which
stimulates the Pituitary Gland to release TSH into the Thyroid
Gland to release Thyroxin
Thyroxin causes the body to increase metabolic rate releasing
more heat. (less thyroxin in hot weather)
