Muscles

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is responsible for maintaining homeostasis.

Homeostasis means to keep the same, constant or to have a balance.

In terms of temperature, humans perform optimally at a body temperature of 37 degrees or 98.6 F. When body temperature rises or increases, the temperature homeostasis is disturbed.

When the body is cold, the hypothalamus which is in the brain, will send signals to your muscles to shiver and move to create warmth and heat. Thus, raising body temperature.
