This is also known as homostatis.This is the body’s ability to regulate temperature.
Death is the ultimate result if the body temperature
increases or decreases to an extreme level from the normal temperature.
The maintenance of body temperature or
thermoregulation is a dynamic system: if heat loss is greater than heat
production then the normal temperature drops. Likewise if heat loss is less than
heat production then the core temperature rises. A drop or rise in normal
temperature is equally dangerous, the situation is ideal when heat loss and
heat production occur at the same rate.
