Topics of this game:
- dark-colored adipose tissue with many blood vessels, involved in the rapid production of heat in hibernating animals and human babies.
- light-colored fat that absorbs heat for insulation of the body
- a form of heat generation that involves muscle contractions and increases oxygen and energy consumption.
- a form of heat that involves hormones such as TRH, TSH, thyroxine and develops over days or weeks
- Is activated when temp rises above set point
- Is activated when temp lowers below set point and prevents hypothermia
- occurs with peripheral vasodilation sending warm blood to the skin surface and sweat glands stimulation
- occurs when the Sympathetic NS decreases blood flow to dermis to divert blood to deep veins
- a form of heat exchange where objects warmer than the environment lose heat.
- a form of heat exchange where heat loss as air moves across the body surface
- a form of heat loss that involves both insensible and sensible perspiration
- a form of heat loss from direct transfer of heat between objects such as using ice packs for an inflamed ankle
- Energy produced from breaking bonds is captured by cells as ATP or released as heat
- Can't be seen or measured; an example is respiratory loss of water vapors
- Can be seen or measured; an example is sweat or urine
