Body Organization and Homeostasis

Question 3 • 2026 Summer 305 CR_2002040-M/J Comprehensive Science 1

How does the body maintain homeostasis when its inner temperature becomes higher than the normal body temperature?

Answer
A
shivering
B
sweating
C
goosebumps

Explanation

When body temperature rises above normal, the body releases sweat onto the skin. As the sweat evaporates, it carries heat away and cools the body. Shivering and goosebumps help conserve or generate heat, so they are responses to cold rather than overheating.
