Thermoregulation And Thermal Stress Flashcards
What is normal body core temp
36.5-37.5
What can we safely get our body temp up to in the heat and down to in the cold
40 and 35
Define core temp
Temp of the hypothalamus the thermoregulatkry centre of the body
How can we assess core temp
Rectal temp
Oesophageal temp
Stomach temp
Oral temp
Tympanic temp
What sensors are required for the home static maintance of body temp
Peripheral and thermoreceptors
How is body temp maintained
Balancing heat gain and heat loss
Heat exchange and energy balance
S= m+c+c+r-e
S= heat storage
M=metabolic heat production
C= connective heat loss or gain
C=conductive heat loss or gain
R=radiant heat loss or gain
E= evaporative heat loss
Exercise in the heat:
Competing regulatory demands and changes in muscle function and metabolism underlie endurance aerobic performance impairments
Exercise in heat can result in exertional illness
