37-39

Question 10

forms of heat loss (2)

Answer 10

1) evaporative: cutaneous & respiratory
- sweating & panting
2) non-evaporative: conduction, convection & radiation

Question 11

conduction

Answer 11

heat loss directly from 1 object to another

Question 12

convection

Answer 12

air blowing across skin & taking heat out with it

Question 13

radiation

Answer 13

loss of heat through electromagnetic rays from skin cells

Question 14

high specific heat capacity

Answer 14

1 cal/g of water to raise temo by 1 C

Question 15

heat thermal conductivity

Answer 15

heat transfer from deep body tissues to surface

Answer 28

1) age
2) physiological state

Question 29

why do lactating animals drink higher amounts of water?

Answer 29

bc milk is 87-88% water so they need it for milk production

high

Question 32

why do animals with diarrhea have a higher water requirement?

Answer 32

animal is losing water through fecal content

Question 33
