Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Central thermoreceptors in the hypothalamus and peripheral thermoreceptors in the skin relay thermal information to the temperature control centers in the brain. These receptors detect changes in skin temperature and core body temperature, and help regulate body temperature via adjustments in peripheral blood flow and sweating. Peripheral cold and warm thermoreceptors in the medulla oblongata also play a role in thermoregulation, but they are not the primary receptors for relaying thermal information to the temperature control centers. Central baroreceptors in internal organs and central thermoreceptors in the vasoconstrictors are not involved in thermal regulation.
