Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The rate of the exchange of heat between an animal and its environment is called as the phenomenon of “Thermoregulation”. These animals generate heat and maintain the temperature within the environment by a flow of air over the body surface. The heat gets exchanged between the blood vessels in the circulatory system and the external environment.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following would increase the rate of heatexchange between an animal and its environment?(A) feathers or fur(B) vasoconstriction(C) wind blowing across the body surface(D) countercurrent heat exchanger
Which method of heat exchange occurs during direct contact between the source and animal? a. radiation b. evaporation c. convection d. conduction
Heat exchange with the environment depends on the surface area-to-volume ratio of the body. Assuming that the body shape of an animal is at least somewhat spherical, a considerable decrease in body size would _______ the surface area-to-volume ratio, and the ability to exchange heat with the environment would _______.
A.
increase; increase
B.
increase; stay about the same
C.
increase; decrease
D.
decrease; increase
E.

- A tiger was chasing a mouse across a field. Each was running at the same pace and increased its internal temperature to the same ratio of its initial body temperature. Which explanation correctly describes which animal would return to its initial temperature more quickly after the chase ended? A. The mouse loses water more quickly, and evaporation will cool its body faster because of size. B. The mouse has adapted to running longer distances relative to size and is more fit than the tiger. C. The tiger has a larger surface-area-to-volume ratio and will cool more quickly. D. The tiger can cool more quickly because of decreased metabolic rates within larger animals.arrow_forwardExplain why a constant high body temperature is worth all the energy it costs.arrow_forwardThe hormone insulin enhances the transport of glucose (sugar) from the blood into most body cells. Its secretion is controlled by a negative-feedback system between the concentration of glucose in the blood and the insulin-secreting cells. Therefore, which of the following statements is correct? A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further towers blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn lowers blood glucose concentration. A decrease in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn increases blood glucose concentration. An increase in blood glucose concentration stimulates insulin secretion, which in turn further increases blood glucose concentration. None of the preceding is correct.arrow_forward
