epithelial tissue

A

covers the outside of the bosy and lines the organs and cavities within the body. It contains cells that are

cuboidal - dice

Q

radiation

A

heat transfer without any medium and through electromagnetic waves

17
Q

conduction

A

heat transfer b/w part of the same material or different material adjacent to one another

18
Q

evaporation

A

heat absorption by liquids which then becomes a gas

19
Q

convection

A

heat transfer from one mater

20
Q

adaptations for thermoregulation

A
insulation: skin, fur, fat 
circulatory adaptations: regulation of blood flow 
cooling: panting in dogs
behavioral responses: posture
metabolic heat production:
21
Q

total energy

A

maintenance + biosynthesis + activity

biosynthesis: body growth and repair

22
Q

byproducts of cellular respiration

A

heat loss, gases

23
Q

metabolic rate

A

amount of energy an animal usues in a unit of time

24
Q

BMR/SMR

A

basal met rate(endotherm at rest)

standard met rate(ectotherm at rest)

25
Q

influences on metabolic rate

A

size, activity

26
Q

torpor

A

activity is low and metabolism decreases

27
Q

estivation

A

summer torpor, enables animals to survive long periods of high temps and scarce water

28
Q

daily torpor

A

feeding patterns
