When you go outside on a hot summer day, your body temperature heats up above
the normal range. Receptors in your brain detect the change in body temperature.
The brain activates nerve cells that send messages to sweat glands, causing the body
temperature to fall as the sweat evaporates from the skin. What part of this feedback
loop is the stimulus?
a) Increased body temperature
b) Nerve cells
c) Brain
d) Sweat glands
