Module 1 A hiker exposed to extreme heat has damage to the hypothalamic thermoreceptors that normally detect changes in core body temperature. A second hiker exposed to extreme cold can detect the temperature change normally but is unable to shiver. Analyze how each failure affects temperature regulation. In your response: Identify which part of the homeostatic feedback loop has failed in each hiker: sensor, control center, or effector. Predict how each failure will affect the body’s ability to restore normal temperature. Explain why temperature regulation is still classified as negative feedback even though the response is unsuccessful in these cases.
