The body shivers in cold temperatures as a physiological response to maintain its core temperature. When the body is exposed to cold temperatures, nerve signals from the skin and other cold receptors in the body are sent to the brain, which then triggers the shivering reflex. Shivering generates heat by increasing muscle activity, which helps to raise the core temperature back to a safe level.
