How does BMR relate to your metabolic set point?

BMR is dictated by the set point. For example, if you were to go on a very low calorie diet, your body would lower its metabolic set point. Therefore, the BMR would be focused on conserving energy and storing those calories.

Is homeostasis the steps for maintaining body temperature at a set point?

yes. the homeostatic control system is a network of body components that cooperate to maintain a steaty internal environment. It detects deviations from the normal set point withing the body, then sends this information to the control center (central nervous system), and then the body makes appropriate adjustments in the effected body parts to restore the changed factor to the set point. When the body experiences an increase in temperature it will compensate for that change by sweating. or if the body experiences a decrease in temperature below its set point skeletal muscle contractions will occur (shivering) to bring the temperature back up to the set point. here is a layout of the events that occur: fall in body temperature --> temperature-monitoring nerve cells are stimulated --> information sent to temperature control center (integrator) --> stimulates skeletal muscle contractions --> increased heat production through shivering --> body temperature reaches set point and stimulation ends.


Do pyrogens act by increasing the set point for body temperature in the thalamus?

No. Pyrogens act by increasing the temperature, but they do not change the set point in the thalamus.

What is happening to a body when a body has fever?

Your body's temperature set point has been raised so that your body will heat up in order to help your immune system destroy the pathogens that are inside you.


How come when you have a fever you are really cold but your skin is hot?

Your body has a "set point" where everything is as it should be. When you're sick, your hypothalamus changes this set point, by increasing your body's "thermostat". Like when you turn up your heater in your house. This makes your body think that you're too cold. So, you feel cold, because according to your thermostat, you are. So, you shiver, you want to cover up with blankets and you feel freezing, because your set point is so high. Once you reach this new set point, it goes back to where it is supposed to be and you "break" your fever. Your body starts sweating (like you would if you were in a hot room) to try and cool off.
