Experiments were performed on conscious goats to confirm the suggestion that in this species the inner body contains more thermosensitive structures than those residing in the hypothalamus and spinal cord. For this purpose goats were chronically implanted with local thermodes and intravascular heat exchangers to allow independent temperature control of the hypothalamus, spinal cord and residual inner body. With the hypothalamus and spinal cord clamped simultaneously at different levels between 32 degrees C and 40 degrees C, residual internal temperature was lowered by subtracting heat via the intravascular heat exchanger. The residual internal temperature at which shivering and increased heat production occured due to heat extraction, was directly related to the value of the combined hypothalamic and spinal cord clamp temperature. The higher hypothalamic and spinal cord clamp temperatures were, the lower residual internal temperature fell before shivering occurred and heat production rose. Plots relating residual internal temperature to hypothalamic and spinal cord temperature at different levels of heat production showed the signal input generated within the residual inner body to be of nearly the same order of magnitude as that from the hypothalamus and spinal cord.
