Q

fish can conserve heat thru?

A

counter-current heat exchange

18
Q

another way for ectotherms to regulate their temperature by?

A

changing their behavior

19
Q

ectothers are capable of surviving at a rsnge of temperature but a quick tempersture changes can be?

A

Deadly

20
Q

can generste thier own heat through metabolism

A

Endotherms

21
Q

marine mammal have a?

A

Blubber

22
Q

used to make animals look bigger, but it has a tempersture regulation function too

A

Piloerection

23
Q

another way in which heat is generated

A

Shivering

24
Q

release a liquid that gets evaporated from the skin

A

Sweat glands

25
Q

another way for evaporstion trick

A

Panting

26
Q

can sustained lowered body temperature

A

Hibernation

27
Q

a way for some animals to survive cold, dark winters witjout having to forage for food or migrate somwhere warmer. Instead they turn down their metabolism

A

Hibernation

28
Q

Summertime version of hibernation

A

Estivation/Aestivation

29
Q

first mammal to estivates

A

Fat-tailed lemur

30
Q

only mammal that known to be poikilotherms

A

Naled mole rat

31
Q

all domestive livestock are?

A

homeotherms

32
Q

occours in basal metabolic rate is met

A

Thermoneutral zone

33
Q

the amount of energy expended while at rest in neutral temperature

A

Metabolic rate

34
Q

when temperature are above the thermoneutral zone, they fall in?

A

Upper critical temperature (UCT)

35
Q

extreme cold can cause ?

A

hypothermia

36
Q

act as a body thermostat

A

Hypothalamus

37
Q

send message to the hypothalus or detect a rise in blood temeprature

A

Thermoreceptors

38
Q

leads to the activation of physiological mechanism required to maintain homeostasis.

A

Stress

39
Q

also can be classified to acute or chronic

A

Stress

40
Q

Stress are diverse and include release and activation of several tropic hormones

A

Andrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
Thyrotropic hormone (TSH)
Somatotropic hormone
Follicle stimulating
Luteinizing Hormones (LH)
Prolactin (PRL)
