Sample use - Physiological Control Systems
Fever- a response to a new setpoint

Hyopthalamic target temperature reset to 39 deg. C
Model begins at 37 deg. C & therefore behaves as if too cold.

Changes in Key Processes

Heat Gains	Shivering spikes early to generate heat gain
Heat Losses	Sweating falls early to minmize heat loss
Body temp	Rises to target (39) as gains > losses and then overshoots slightly
Heat Gains	Fall later due to body temp overshoot
Heat Losses	Rise later due to body temp overshoot
