Core temperature (°C)37

Set core temperature to exactly 37°C — confirm the vessel diameter reads 50% (resting baseline)
Set core temperature to 39°C — confirm vasodilation (vessel > 50%) and sweating has begun
Set core temperature to 35°C — confirm vasoconstriction (vessel < 50%), shivering, and erected hair
On the same 39°C body, confirm the sweat rate reads exactly 160 mL/hr
Cool the body all the way to 35°C — confirm shivering has hit its maximum of 100%
