Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different. This process is one aspect of homeostasis: a dynamic state of stability between an animal's internal environment and its external environment (the study of such processes in zoology has been called ecophysiology or physiological ecology). If the body is unable to maintain a normal temperature and it increases significantly above normal, a condition known as hyperthermia occurs. This occurs when the body is exposed to constant temperatures of approximately 55° C, any prolonged exposure (longer than a few hours) at this temperature and up to around 70° C death is almost inevitable. The opposite condition, when body temperature decreases below normal levels, is known as hypothermia.
Whereas an organism that thermoregulates is one that keeps its core body temperature within certain limits, a thermoconformer is subject to changes in body temperature according to changes in the temperature outside of its body. It was not until the introduction of thermometersthat any exact data on the temperature of animals could be obtained. It was then found that local differences were present, since heat production and heat loss vary considerably in different parts of the body, although the circulation of the blood tends to bring about a mean temperature of the internal parts. Hence it is important to identify the parts of the body that most closely reflect the temperature of the internal organs. Also, for such results to be comparable, the measurements must be conducted under comparable conditions. The rectum has traditionally been considered to reflect most accurately the temperature of internal parts, or in some cases of sex or species, the vagina, uterus or bladder.
Occasionally the temperature of the urine as it leaves the urethra may be of use. More often the temperature is taken in the mouth, axilla, ear or groin.

heat gain is when an object get hotter. heat loss is when an object gets colder.
you tell me
Heat gain, otherwise, a heat loss would be like turning off the heat beneath a saucepan on the stove.
These are exact opposities - heat gain is an increase in energy that results in an increased temperature of the material. Heat loss is a loss in energy that results in a decreased temperature of the material.
Yes, low coolant can cause a loss of heat in the cabin.
Windows, doors, floors and ceiling will cause heat loss.
No. They generated heat.
An average of 90 percent of energy is lost at each pyramid level through respiration, heat, and waste.
color loss, washer, always was on cold for color fastness. shrinkage is dryer, you can avoid this by using low heat or no heat tumble dry
The mouse use some energy is used in respiration(loss as heat) and the others used as growth( which will then pass on to the cat)
Heat exhaustion is cause by what precent of loss of water duringexercise? Just losing 5% of water can cause heat exhaustion. I am taking a FLVS class, Lifestyle and Fitness Design and I just answered this right on a exam so I this is correct.
A severe heat wave can cause dehydration, loss of appetite, Power outages etc...
#1 cause Heat, #2 Heat, #3 Heat, #4 Sulfation usually caused by electrolyte loss because of heat.
The main heat loss in a good thermos flask, is due to heat conducted through the material. (Glass or Stainless Steel). There should be little heat lost through the vacuum of the flask.
heat loss
The products of respiration (cellular respiration) are water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and heat.
