hypo-, TRH, TSH, Thyroxine (inc. cell metabolism)
Muscle contractions ____

Role of adipose tissue
- insulate/ prevent heat loss
- SEALS (blubber)
-respiratory substrate (heat generation)
Thermoreg. cold weather
-shiver
-raise (erection) of hair
-vasoconstriction (red. blood flow to skin)
- uncouple resp. (No ATP prod; only heat-brown adipose tissue)
Thermoreg. hot weather
