Score is an old word for the number 20. = (4*20+7)years = 87 years. And in the Bible: âthree score years and tenâ meaning: âseventy years oldâ (3*20+10) (Psalm 90). This was thought to be a normal life span.
One of the functions of the Integumentary System is the negative feedback, homeostatic control of the core body temperature. This is called thermoregulation.
Temperature detection and regulation is of vital importance to any homeothermic organism. In order to maintain temperature homeostasis it is necessary for the autonomic nervous system to monitor small fluctuations in core body temperature and initiate counter measures to prevent temperature fluctuations beyond a tightly controlled set point.
