Shcherbak Thermoregulatory Reflex

SHCHERBAKA THERMOREGULATION REFLEX (Shcherbak)

SHCHERBAKA (A.E. Shcherbak), a type of thermoregulatory reflex, expressed in a change in the intensity of heat transfer depending on the ambient temperature. It functions by changing the heat transfer of the skin. As the ambient temperature increases, the intensity of heat transfer increases, which leads to a decrease in body temperature. When the ambient temperature decreases, the opposite phenomenon occurs. Violation of S.H.I.E.L.D. can be caused by various reasons: disruption of the autonomic nervous system, endocrine disorders, diseases of the respiratory and circulatory system, etc.

Shcherbakov Thermoregulatory Reflex (A. Shcherbakh thermoregulation) is a complex of mechanisms for regulating physiological processes in the body, which ensure the maintenance of a constant body temperature. This reflex is one of the most important regulatory functions of our body, since its violation can lead to various diseases and life-threatening conditions.

The thermoregulatory reflex has three main components: a thermostatic mechanism that controls the level of heat in the blood; thermoregulatory center located in the hypothalamus of the brain, which regulates blood pressure and cardiac activity, and also secretes various hormones such as vasopressin and adrenaline; and the skin suspensory system, which warms the body by increasing the rate of metabolism between the skin and the environment.

When the body is exposed to various environmental factors, such as ambient temperature, amount of food consumed, time of day, physical activity, mood and much more, the thermoregulatory center of the hypothalamus receives appropriate information. It controls and regulates thermostatic mechanisms, metabolic processes, etc. to maintain optimal body temperature in
