[Thermoregulation in the comfort temperature zone].
Under constant adequate temperature conditions (comfortable for a man) the retention of temperature homeostasis was shown to require a continuous functioning of the physiological thermoregulation system to prevent short-term and whole day deviations of the temperature from the physiological level. Under adequate temperature conditions the thermoregulation system was shown to attain its highest sensitivity and accuracy. It is possible that this occurs owing to physiological control over the total body heat content being included into the process of thermoregulation. The data are given on the existence and "structure" of the physiological mechanisms of such a control.
