humans are considered cold blooded or warm blooded?
warm blooded, homeotherms
how many systems regulate temperature in the human body?
2
behavioural
physiologic
methods of heat transfer?
radiation
convection
conduction
evaporation
radiation heat transfer
heat gain/loss in the form of electromagnetic energy
when does shivering begin?
34.4-36.1 and continues till 30
conduction heat transfer
between 2 objects in direct contact of each other
convection heat transfer
from a solid object to another medium that moves across the solid object
evaporation heat transfer
liquid to vapor
thermal gradient is…
the difference in temp
thermal equilibrium
when 2 object come into contact and become the same temp
hyperthermia causes
fever
exercise
when heat production/heat gained is higher/faster then the body can handle
TBW means…
total body water
