Document Summary

Evaluate class 3: when beginning to get a fever, a person feels cold and has chills because of a lower body temperature set point. When beginning to get a fever, a person feels cold and has chills, but it is not because of a lower body temperature set point. The hypothalamus of the brain increases the body temperature set point due to an increase in pyrogens. A person feels cold because their current body temperature is lower than the increased body temperature set point and needs to adjust to the change in that set point. The cold feeling is due to the difference between the body temperature and the increased body temperature set point. Shivering is an effector that stems from the hypothalamus increasing the body temperature set point. Shivering, or the chills that the person experiences, is an energy-intensive process that occurs in which the muscles contract and relax, which increases metabolic rate (mr).
