How does a squirrel's body temperature stay the same when it is very cold outside?
They are warmblooded (meaning they generate their own body heat).
Do body temperature of mammals change with the environment?
No, mammals can stay the same consistent temperature, and they are called warmblooded. Reptiles are coldblooded, so what the temperature is outside, that's their internal temperature too. They have to lay in the sun before their blood is warm enough so they can move.
What is another word for warm blooded?
A warmblooded animal is able to keep its internal body temperature at about the same temperature, regardless of the temperature of its environment. For example, if a man walks outside on a 120 degree day, he will begin sweating so that the water passing through his skin cools him. Thus, his internal temperature stays at 98.6 degrees even though the outside is much hotter. This ability to keep the internal temperature at about the same at all times is called thermal homeostasis. Actually, although mammals and birds are considered warmblooded, the difference between warmblooded and cold-blooded is not definite. There are various degrees of warm-bloodedness.
What is the difference between warm-blooded and cold-blooded?
If you are warmblooded wherever you go your body temperature always constant and if you are coldblooded your body temperature will change to whatever the outside temperature is.
Which vertebrate animals are ecotherms?
Ectotherms are cold-blooded animals, as they get heat for their body from outside their body-- like a lizard laying on a rock to soak up some heat. Endotherms are warmblooded (like us) and their bodies maintain a steady internal temperature.
How does the outside temperature affect the body temperature?
The outside temperature affects the body temperature because it the body temperature will try to regulate itself. For example, if the temperature outside is cold, the body will generate heat as much as possible to maintain a core temperature.
What is responding stimuli?
Response to stimuli refers to a response to outside stimuli such as a noise or a smell. It is a term that refers to an organisms ability to respond to the outside environment.
