Explanation
The brain plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature. It does so by monitoring the temperature of the blood and sending signals to various parts of the body to adjust heat production or loss. This process is known as thermoregulation. The brain ensures that the body temperature stays around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, which is considered the normal body temperature for most individuals.
