Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the set point of the hypothalamus rises to 40°F/10°C, the body perceives this as a need to increase body temperature in response to a potential infection. The initial response of the body would be to increase heat production by contracting muscles, which causes shivering. This helps to generate heat and raise the body temperature towards the new set point.
