Radiation

26
Q

What are the 4 ways the body loses heat?

A

Convection
Evaporation
Radiation
Conduction

27
Q

Convection

A

Fluid/liquid/or gas
Air temp around body is less than body temp.

(think oven/ surrounding temperature) heated environment makes water boil. Or surrounding cold temp makes person cold

28
Q

Evaporation

A

Moisture to vapor
Perspiration or breathing

(sweat)(condensation?) sweat evap cools the body

29
Q

Radiation

A

(electromagnetic waves)
Human body near a cold surface

cold ‘leaps off of the surface or radiates’ flame to pot. A poorly insulated cold wall can radiate from wall to person and lower their temp

30
Q

Conduction

A

(transfer between 2 objects) touching. Hot pot to hot handle. A cold desk could make person sitting at it cold. Person walking on cold floor barefoot could become cold.

31
Q

A

Metabolism
Food to energy
Burn calories
