Answer and Explanation:
In homeostatic control processes any deviation from the norm sets into motion the appropriate corrective mechanisms which restore the norm. This rectification occurs through negative feedback. When you go outside wearing a sweater on a hot day, the body sends messages to the CNS and the following occurs:
- The superficial blood vessels vasodilate so that more blood flows near the surface. This encourages heat loss.
- Sweating and panting. Sweat secreted by the sweat glands evaporate from the surface of the body as it absorbs latent heat.
- The metabolic rate falls so that the body generates less heat. You also become less active
- Behavioural response by seeking cooler areas, cold drinks or removal of the sweater.
