CONTROL OF BODY TEMPERATURE
- Core Temperature =


WHY IS TEMPERATURE REGULATION IMPORTANT ?










Thermoregulation =

1) Ectotherms =




2) Endotherms =



3) Thermoregulation in Birds and Mammals is accomplished by balancing heat gain with heat loss:


(A) Cold Stress -

(i) Limiting Heat Loss:




(ii) Increasing Heat Production:





(B) Heat Stress -

(i) Enhancing Heat Loss:
