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:
