Summary

THE AIM OF THIS ARTICLE IS TO PRESENT THE DIFFERENT REGULATION MECHANISMS WHICH FUNCTION IN THE HUMAN BEING WHEN HE IS EXPOSED TO HOT OR COLD AMBIENT CONDITIONS. THE FUNCTIONING OF THE THERMOREGULATOR SYSTEM IS ANALYZED BY REFERENCE TO THE SET POINT THEORY DEVELOPED BY HAMMEL AND HIS COLLABORATORS. THE DIFFERENT HYPOTHESES RELATED TO THIS THEORY ARE DISCUSSED. NO THERMOREGULATION MODEL YET EXISTS ABLE TO QUANTIFY THE RESPONSES OF THE THERMOREGULATOR SYSTEM, ABOVE ALL IN THE TRANSIENT STATES OF THERMAL STIMULATION.
