Sure! Here's an art-labeling activity for the negative feedback control of body temperature:

1. Thermoreceptors - these are specialized cells that detect changes in temperature. They are located in the skin, body core, and hypothalamus.

2. Hypothalamus - a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat and receives information from the thermoreceptors.

3. Temperature sensors in hypothalamus - These are the cells in the hypothalamus that sense the temperature of the blood passing through it.

4. Effector muscles - These are muscles that can generate heat when activated, such as skeletal muscles.

5. Sweat glands - These are glands that produce sweat when activated, which helps to cool the body down.

6. Blood vessels - These expand or contract to regulate body temperature. When the body is too hot, they dilate (expand) to allow more blood closer to the skin so it can be cooled down. When the body is too cold, they constrict (narrow) to reduce blood flow and conserve heat.

7. Eccrine sweat gland - This is a type of sweat gland that is widely distributed across the skin and produces sweat to help regulate body temperature.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
