A human body has a temp of 37'C. Howdophsyical/chemical/and nuclear processes keep ahuman body at a const.temp

A healthy human body maintains a temperature of a bout a 37'C. Explain how phsyicalm chemical and nuclear processes all contribute directly or indirectly to keeping the human body at a constant temperture. Please let me knoe the answer or if any websites that are helpful.. asap.. plz.. and thankyou

Well... nuclear forces/reactions don't participate in thermal homeostasis (maintenance of equilibrium). The chemical reactions that give us energy and maintain the body also liberate heat (overall, they are exothermic)... we stoke the fire with calories from our diet. We also shunt blood to or away from the body surface to cool or maintain body heat.





Do a search on "thermal homeostasis human" and you should find information relevant to your question.

Reply:The process described in your question is a biological function called homeostasis. The following link will explain: http://www.answers.com/topic/homeostasis
