Temperature dependence of energy transformations in the cell being considered as the basis of thermoregulatory reactions in any organism, the mathematical model of energy obtaining and utilization of some formal system which can be considered as a cell prototype is composed. The mode is realized in the form of differential equations which describe the energy balance in the dynamic system and the energy exchange between the system and the environment. The steady state of the system structural elements is interpreted as a "hypothetic" aim of the regulation. Temperature "set interval" and "non-thermal" factors role in the formation of the last is based on the equations solutions which correspond to quasi-stationary states of the system. The model can be used as an element of mathematical description of organism thermoregulation. A scheme of possible synthesis of organism of thermoregulation model is considered.
