Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Normal temperature is influenced by the diurnal cycle, exercise, and age. The other responses do not influence body temperature.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The body maintains a steady temperature through a thermostat or feedback mechanism, which is regulated in the hypothalamus of the brain. The hypothalamus regulates heat production from metabolism, exercise, food digestion, and external factors with heat loss through radiation, evaporation of sweat, convection, and conduction.
