Your hypothalamus is the central integration center for temperature regulation.
Your hypothalamus receives nerve impulses from structures in your skin called thermo receptors that give information about the surface temperature of your body. Thermo receptors in the skin are picked up by nerve cells and passed through the spinal cord by thermal sensors which are connected to the posterior hypothalamus. If temperatures are lower than normal body temperature, a thermogenic response initiated by the posterior hypothalamus leads to an elevation in body heat and conservation of heat.
Your hypothalamus also receives information about temperature through the bloodstream. The anterior hypothalamus, particularly the preoptic area, contains temperature sensitive neurons that respond to internal blood temperature changes. If blood is too hot, your anterior hypothalamus initiates a thermolytic response which helps to decrease body temperature.
Thermolytic responses are characterized by vasodilation in the skin which causes heat to be lost through the skin by radiation and perspiration. Thermogenic responses create cutaneous vasoconstriction meaning blood vessels in your skin start to get smaller which minimizes the loss of heat due to radiation. Thermolytic responses also cause a shivering effect. This increased muscular activity can increase body temperature.
Your hypothalamus is well equipped to gauge the fluctuations in temperature in your blood and your peripheral body.

03:21 Factors that lower your body temperature
Some factors that can raise your body temperature include fevers, exercise, even digestion. If you eat late at night and then go to bed, you’re going to have a hard time staying asleep because your body temperature naturally elevates during digestion which will prevent adequate melatonin production.
Since your hypothalamus is controlling thermal regulation, it's very important to support your hypothalamus to keep your body temperature regulated optimally.
