For mammals very little, except for the energy expenditure required to maintain a constant internal temperature.

Explain how vasodilation affects body temperature?

Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow closer to the skin's surface. This can help dissipate heat more efficiently, lowering body temperature. Conversely, vasoconstriction, the narrowing of blood vessels, helps conserve heat and maintain body temperature in cold conditions.


What is the thermal conductivity of skin and how does it affect the body's ability to regulate temperature?

The thermal conductivity of skin is relatively low, which means it does not conduct heat well. This affects the body's ability to regulate temperature by acting as an insulating barrier that helps to maintain a stable internal temperature. Skin helps to prevent heat loss in cold environments and helps to dissipate excess heat in hot environments, allowing the body to maintain a constant temperature.


What is the difference in temperature air?

Air temperature refers to the measurement of heat energy in the air, while wind chill factor takes into account the cooling effect of wind on the human body. Humidity affects how the temperature feels by making it feel warmer or cooler than the actual temperature. Heat index considers both air temperature and humidity to determine how hot it feels.


What units would be used to measure the surface temperature of a plane?

Surface temperature is the temperature of a body at a particular location. Factors that affects this temperature are altitude, and environmental temperature. The surface temperature declines or goes up as the plane changes altitude.


What affects the electrical resistance of a body?

The electrical resistance of a body is affected by the material it is made of, its length, cross-sectional area, and temperature. Materials with high resistivity, longer lengths, smaller cross-sectional areas, and higher temperatures will have higher electrical resistance.

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.


Does homeostasis affect body temperature?

The stabilization of body temperature is homeostasis. What affects homeostasis is the interaction of the hypothalamus and hormones, such as prostaglandin; an indirect marker for inflammation. Homeostasis is constant/stable. The hypothalamus ensures body temperature homeostasis.


How latitudes affects temperature?

How the surface temperature affects the year?

The time of year it happens to be affects the temperature not the other way round.


What can a fever slow down?

enzymes best function at optimum temperature for human body optimum temperature is 37 C, raise in optimum temperature affects the function of enzymes and with very high temperature enzyme activity ceases. high temperature also affects proteins resulting in protein structural changes. fever slow down the enzyme activity.


What affects earth temperature?

How does the color red affect temperature?

it is a warm color, therefore it affects warm temperature. it is a warm color, therefore it affects warm temperature.


How does fishes breathing rate change as the temperature change?

Affects inner temperature- homoeostasis, of fish, affecting how the body work. Ex: Your body would move slower if you were in the temperature of below the freezing point. Temperature affects environment-Oxygen. Hot weather will evaporate water releasing Oxygen- leaving less for the fish to breath. In addition, the solubility of gases decreases as the temperature of water increases. This means that the hotter a body of water is, the less oxygen is able to dissolve in it. So, very high water temperatures could make it difficult for fish to breath.


How temperature affects pressure?

as pressure increases, temperature increases


How does insulation affect body temperature?

Insulation affects body temperature by keeping heat around your body to keep your blood flowing. The most useful insulation article is usually wool. Several thin layers of insulation are more effective than fewer thick layers.
