THE HUMAN ENVIRONMENT Flashcards
may be defined
as the integrated management of
the economic, social, and
physical resources of a spatially
bounded area. Regional plans
and policies have been proposed
and carried out since the
beginnings of civilized settlement.
REGIONAL PLANNING
It is the process of
guiding and directing the use and
development of land, urban
environment, urban infrastructure,
and related ecosystem and
human services—in ways that
ensure the maximum level of
economic development, high
quality of life, wise management of
natural resources, and efficient
operation of infrastructures.
URBAN PLANNING

Environmental Planner
It is a complex, highly
organized structure made up of

human body

under 99° Fahrenheit (37°C)
Give off _____ times as much heat
used to maintain a stable internal
temperature.

THE COOLING SYSTEM OF THE BODY
- RESPIRATION
- VAPORIZATION
- CONVECTIONS AND RADIATION
- DIFFUSION
When the rate of cooling by respiration,
skin diffusion, skin radiation, and skin
convection is insufficient to meet our
body’s demands, we____
sweat
It is sufficient to provide the
additional cooling required, but its
effectiveness depends on the amount of
moisture in the air.
Perspiration
Body responds to excessive heat loss by
lowering the
temperature of the feet and hands.
Rapid heat loss results to
goose bumps
It raise the metabolic heat production
Exercise
an involuntary form of heat-generating muscular
motion
Shivering
When the deep-body temperature falls, the human body
goes into
hypothermia
With PROLONGED OVERHEATING or OVERCOOLING it leads to INCREASED
FATIGUE and WEAK RESISTANCE which lead to ____
disease
