The hypothalamus, a small region in the brain, acts as the body's thermostat, regulating temperature through a complex system of neural pathways and hormones. When the body temperature rises, the hypothalamus sends signals to sweat glands to cool down through evaporation. Conversely, when the temperature drops, it stimulates shivering and vasoconstriction (the narrowing of blood vessels) to conserve heat.
