Answer:

This model shows the mechanism of homeostasis when the body temperature rises above the normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps by which body accomplishes cooling are as follows:

  • As the body temperature rises above the normal the sensory neurons perceive that and sends a signal to the hypothalamus.
  • Hypothalamus which is a bridge between the nervous system and the endocrine system, receives the signal and send s a signal to body.
  • The signal from the hypothalamus causes blood vessels to dilate and increases the circulation of blood near the surface so that more heat is lost.
  • It also increases the sweating which allows the body to produce cooling affect through evaporation.'
  • This continues till the body temperature falls to normal.
