Specification 4.5.2.4 · Paper 2
The control of body temperature to keep internal conditions suitable for cells.
Revise: ThermoregulationThermoregulation is the automatic control of body temperature despite changes such as exercise or cold weather. The thermoregulatory centre in the brain coordinates this control. It contains receptors sensitive to the temperature of the blood, giving it information about internal temperature.

The regulation of body temperature to keep it within a suitable range.
Two important examples are controlling body temperature, called thermoregulation, and controlling the water balance of body fluids, called osmoregulation. They protect cells in different ways.
