IB Biology SL D3.3.6 Thermoregulation mechanisms
Practise choosing and outlining human responses to temperature change, including sweating, vasodilation, shivering and brown adipose tissue activity.
How this is tested
- explain how sweating and skin vasodilation help reduce body temperature during exercise
- distinguish cold-response mechanisms such as shivering from heat-loss responses
- interpret PET/CT or temperature data to link brown adipose tissue with heat production
