How do mammals release heat from their body?

Answer 1

That depends on whether the vertebrate is warm or cold blooded. Animals such as fish and amphibians have to be able to survive with a body temperature similar to their surroundings, because they are cold blooded and they can't leave the water long enough to really warm up. Reptiles are cold blooded, but they can warm up by basking in sunlight. Mammals and birds are warm bloded, so they generate heat internally from the energy they get from food.

Answer 3

In multiple ways. e.g. if a person is too warm, they sweat, if they're too cold they shiver etc.

Answer 4

They use oxygen to oxidise the fuel they eat. this relases heat.

Answer 5

Two adaptations are that mammals ears and body fat control there body tempurature.

Answer 6

Mammals in cold climates have thicker and longer fur and have more fat, both of which insulate their body heat from the cold environment. They may also huddle together for warmth.

Answer 7

Mammals release heat from their bodies by sweating.

Answer 8

Mammals regulate their body temperature by counter-current heat exchange. This is what gets them to where they can live without dying.
