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.
Regulation of body temperature is one example of hypothalamic control of brainstem and spinal autonomic nuclei related to longer-term autonomic reflexes. Thermoregulation is principally a function of warm-sensitive neurons of the preoptic anterior hypothalamus that directly control the dissipation of heat.ollectively, this is referred to as the central autonomic network and is further organized into a hierarchy of functional loops. The hypothalamus is the key brain site for central control of the autonomic nervous system, and the paraventricular nucleus is the key hypothalamic site for this control.
