Answer:

The hypothalamus plays ahuge role in the endocrine system. It is responsible for maintaining your body's internal balance of temperature.

When your hypothalamus senses that you're too hot, it sends signals to your sweat glands to make you sweat and cool your temperature.

When the hypothalamus senses that you're too cold, it sends signals to your muscles that make your shiver and create warmth, rising your temperature.
