Regulating Body Temperature
1. Stimulus - a change in core body temperature or the environmental temperature
2. Receptor - thermoreceptors near the brain or in the skin detect temperature changes and send messages to the modulator
3. Modulator - the hypothalamus
4. Effector - sends messages to a variety of effector cells and tissues throughout the body
5. Response - creates a change in heat transfer, helping to maintain a core body temperature of 37 °C
