16
Q

what type of epithelium exists in the hypodermis

A

adipose connective tissue

17
Q

what is the function of adipose connective tissue

A

insulation, generation of heat

18
Q

what are the two types of temperature gated ion channels

A

TRPV1 and TREK-2

19
Q

what are TRPV1 receptors

A

transient receptor potential changes, sense temperature variation, cause neuronal excitation through Na+ and Ca2+ influc

20
Q

what are TREK-2 receptors

A

“leak” channels, mediate temperature controlled efflux of K+ contribute to electric potential on the PM at rest counterbalance excitatory action of the TRPs during temperature driven excitation

21
Q

when does vasodilation occur

A

when an organism needs to lose heat

22
Q

what does TRPV1 respond to

A

less than 43 degrees celsius

23
Q

what does TRPV2 respond to

A

less than 52 degrees celsius
