coat, subcutaneous fat, evaporation of water from the surface of the tongue (to cool the body), expansion and narrowing of the lumens of skin vessels – physical thermoregulation. Behavior that helps change environmental temperature conditions is behavioral thermoregulation. Developed regulation of cellular chemical reactions that generate heat, which occurs on command from a special heat center in the diencephalon, is chemical thermoregulation.
