[Effect of high altitude on the thermoregulatory system].

The temperature range for specific thermoregulatory responses (shivering, sweat secretion) of the high altitude residents is narrower than in the lowland inhabitants, as well as the sensitivity of temperature centres of the formers is lower than in the latters. The absolute level of heat emission of the respiratory tract, internal and external gradients of temperature, are the important parts in mechanisms of shivering. The average level of body temperature domineers in the response of thermal sweat secretion.
