Thermoregulation and Human Performance notes

This Thermoregulation Study Guide provides a complete summary of body temperature regulation, heat production and transfer, and nursing care for temperature alterations. It explains how the hypothalamus controls thermoregulation and details mechanisms like shivering, sweating, vasoconstriction, and vasodilation. The guide covers hyperthermia, hypothermia, malignant hyperthermia, and fever physiology, including febrile phases (chill and flush) and associated clinical manifestations. It also revie...
