As its name suggests, it depends upon the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the thyroid gland .

For an ideal absorber/emitter or black body, the Stefan–Boltzmann law states that the total energy radiated per unit surface area per unit time (also known as the radiant exitance) is directly proportional to the fourth power of the black body's temperature, T : The constant of proportionality, , is called the Stefan–Boltzmann constant.
