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).
