Exercise 10

Hannah has the flu. As her fever rises, she gets the chills. She shivers and covers herself in extra blankets. She takes some acetaminophen and her fever breaks. As her body tempera- ture returns to normal, she throws off the blankets, looks flushed, and perspires. Use the mechanisms of body tempera- ture control to explain what is happening as Hannah's fever rises and falls.
