Term
|
Definition
| The process of maintaining a steady-state physiological condition of a body |
|
|
Term
| What is thermoregulation? |
|
Definition
| a process by which animals maintain an internal temperature within a tolerable range |
|
|
Term
Why is thermoregulation important?
What are the temperature requirements? |
|
Definition
it is critical to survival because temperature can influence rates of enzyme-mediated processes and fluidity and rigidity of plasma membranes
Temperature requirements are species specific |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Term used when the source of heat in a body is produced by the metabolism |
|
|
Term
| What animals are endotherms and what is characteristic about endothermy? |
|
Definition
All birds, mammals, some fish, and some insects
can keep body substantially warmer than surroundings |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Body heat is gained from external sources |
|
|
Term
| What animals are ectotherms and what is characteristic of ectotherms? |
|
Definition
all amphibians, most reptiles, many fish, and most invertebrates
Ectotherms generally consume less food then endotherms
Ectotherms tolerate larger fluctuations in temperature
|
|
|
Term
| The two heat modes are not mutually exclusive. Why? |
|
Definition
| an endotherm can still warm itself in the sun |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| organism in which its temperature varies with its environment |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| organism in which its temperature remains relatively constant |
|
|
Term
| Is there a relationship between source of body heat and the stability of body temperature? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is the process of convection? |
|
Definition
| heat exchange process by which heat is lost when air or liquid moves past a surface |
|
|
Term
| What is the process of Conduction? |
|
Definition
| heat exchange process by which heat is gained through direct transfer of heat by the motion of molecules in physical contact |
|
|
Term
| What is the process of radiation? |
|
Definition
| Heat exchange process by which heat is gained through absorbtion of electromagnetic waves by all objects warmer than absolute zero |
|
|
Term
| What is the process of evaporation? |
|
Definition
| heat exchange process by which heat is lost through the surface of a liquid that is losing some of its molecules as gas |
|
|
Term
| What type of thermoregulatory adaptation is fur and feathers and What is there function? |
|
Definition
integumentary
to reduce loss of heat by convection and to allow retention of metabolically generated heat |
|
|
Term
| What type of thermoregulatory adaptation is Adipose tissue and What is its function? |
|
Definition
integumentary
Layers of fat in hypodermis reduce transfer of heat to body surface |
|
|
Term
| What type of thermoregulatory adaptation is evaporative heat loss and What is its function? |
|
Definition
integumentary
To reduce heat via evaporation of water from a moist surface |
|
|
Term
| What type of thermoregulatory adaptation is panting and What is its function? |
|
Definition
integumentary
Loss of heat through evaporation from moist oral surfaces |
|
|
Term
| What type of thermoregulatory adaptation is gaping and What is its function? |
|

|
Term
| What type of thermoregulatory adaptation is Vasodilation and Vasoconstriction and How does it work? |
|
Definition
Circulatory adaptation
Works through the relaxation and contraction of muscles in superficial blood vessels near body surfaces, increasing of decreasing their diameter
Vasodialation- Increases blood flow to body surface and increases transfer of heat to the environment
Vasoconstriction- reduces blood flow to the surface reducing heat loss |
|
|
Term
| What type of thermoregulatory adaptation is countercurrent exchange and What is its function? |
|
Definition
Circulatory adaptation
Heat in the arterial vessels emerging from the body core is transferred to the veins returning to the body core instead of being lost to the environment
Arterial blood gets cooler and cooler but veinous blood gets warmer and warmer |
