Thermoregulation is referred to as the ability of any creature to control its body temperature in the standard limits, even when surrounded by higher or lower temperatures. If the temperature while being trying to be controlled; rises way more than the normal temperature, it causes a condition which is called hyperthermia.

A condition of hypothermia is caused when the opposite phenomenon occurs i.e. the fall in body temperature way below compared to the normal temperature of the body. Thermoregulation is a significant feature of human being’s homeostasis. In humans, the heat is usually produced in organs like liver, heart, brain and in tightening of bone muscles. High levels of heat cause body stress leading it to be in danger of death or serious injury.

The bottom of brain is where a gland called Hypothalamus is situated. This gland is what is in-charge of the temperature within the body. It is what reacts to the sensory indications in both the skin and the deep interior of body. The hypothalamus institutes a certain ‘set point’ or ‘level’ to measure the inner body temperature. It then continually compares the current body temperature with this standard point. In the case where both the set temperature and the actual temperature come off as an unmatched then the hypothalamus stimulates the increase or decrease processes as needed by the body until both the temperatures reach the same point.
