Question 3

core body temperature depends on time of day: lowest around 3-6 am or pm?

Answer 3

am

Question 4

core body temperature depends on physical exercise due to heat ??? due to metabolic activity

Answer 4

generation

Question 5

TRUE or FALSE: stage of menstrual cycle afects core body temperature

Answer 5

TRUE

Question 6

rate of heat production is linked to metabolism as heat production is directly proprotional to rate of ??? consumption as fuel (food) is oxidised

Answer 6

O2

Question 7

metabolic reactions generate heat due to ??? eg shivering skeletal muscles adds to metabolic heat production (need ??? for shivering)

Answer 7

energy waste
ATP

Question 8

onset of exercise = spike or drop in heat production in proportion to exercise intensity?

Answer 8

spike

Question 9

during exercise, what is the following process known as? thermoreceptors detect temperature change –> hypothalamus compares and detects error, causing an efferent output = slows rate of heat storage

Answer 9

thermoregulation
