Thermoregulation

I took this picture because my dog usually find ways to keep his body temperature maintained such as if it's too hot in the house he'll pant and release heat and like with the air conditioner he just enjoys the cool with his fur so he manages his body temperature using thermoregulation.

Thermoregulation is the consistency of a body temperature in an organism even under different types of external temperature conditions. Thermoregulation is a key factor in different species as it keeps that species at its highest performing level by maintaining its preferred body body temperature increasing its senses, mobility and production rate. Things that could affect this thermoregulation could be humidity, temperature incline or decline, vapor pressure and air velocity as forms of conditions that could affect the temperature of the skin. Some species learn to adapt to their surrounding external environment to achieve a proper thermoregulation while other animals may sometimes require a new environment to perform efficiently.
