Hormonal Control of Temperature
Hormonal Control of Temperature
The hypothalamus acts on the pituitary gland to control body temperature through the action on another endocrine gland - the thyroid gland.
The hypothalamus receives information from temperature receptors in skin and form the internal receptors, including the hypothalamus itself.
If the hypothalamus detects a fall in body temperature, it produces a hormone that causes the pituitary gland to secrete more thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH). TSH stimulates the thyroid to release more of the hormone thyroxine. Thyroxine travels in the blood to all cells and causes the rate of metabolism in the cells to increase.
Increased metabolism generates more heat and warms the body. Producing the hormones that cause these changes takes time, and therefore the endocrine system does not have immediate control over body temperature.
