Thermoregulation is the process that allows the human body to maintain its core internal temperature. The state of having an even internal temperature is called homeostasis. All thermoregulation mechanisms are designed to return the body to homeostasis. A healthy, safe temperature has a very narrow window â between 98Â°F (37Â°C) and 100Â°F (37.8Â°C).
The list of related effects does not stop there. Just as quickly as the Industrial Revolution initiated the new global golden age of prosperity and monumental improvements to the human condition, it has just as quickly provided ecological challenges and sharp focus on the need for control and sustainability.
Human impact on the environment or anthropogenic impact on the environment includes impacts on biophysical environments, biodiversity, and other resources. The term anthropogenic designates an effect or object resulting from human activity. The term was first used in the technical sense by Russian geologist Alexey Pavlov, and was first used in English by British ecologist Arthur Tansley in reference to human influences on climax plant communities.
