Revisiting Concepts of Thermal Physiology: Understanding Feedback and Feedforward Control, and Local Temperature Regulation
Most experts agree that the dominant mechanism through which body temperature is regulated, under a thermal challenge, environmental or metabolic, is negative feedback control. However, some consider...
