Summary Introduction

To review:

The heat transfer processes that might account for the change in body temperature in mammals.

Introduction:

An animal may lose or gain heat from its body by the processes of conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation. These properties of heat regulation are very well depicted by the endotherms that with the help of various mechanisms acquire or lose heat.
