skin
The mammalian diving reflex is an example of the body's attempt to maintain?
Homeostasis :)
Why must the testes be outside of the abdominal cavity?
The temperature needed for the sperms to survive and thrive is lower than the optimum body temperature , hence it is not possible to maintain a lower temperature inside the body hence the testes are located outside the body.
Is the scrotum found outside of the body?
Your testes descend from abdominal cavity to the scrotum. There is difference of one degree Celsius from body. It is lower in the scrotum. This one degree Celsius lower temperature is necessary for production of the sperms.
How might our body temperature be affected if water didn't have the high specific heat that it does?
If the water had lower specific heat capacity than the body temperature would be higher as less energy would be required to increase the temperature by 1 degree celsius but seeing that the hypothalamus is responsible for keeping the temperature regulated, The average temperature would remain same as the current body temperature favours a lot of enzyme activity as well.
Why does the frog heart have lower heart rate than mammalian heart?
Frog's internal body temperature is lower than that of a mammal lower temperature = slower heart rate
Does vasodilation raise or lower body temperature?
vasodilatation reduces body temperature.
Is the temperature of blood slightly lower than the body temperature?

No.
What does it mean if your body temperature is lower than the avg body temperature?
That means that your body temperature is lower than 37 degrees Celsius. It probably means you have been inactive for a while. 37 C or 98.6 F is the average body temperature, not a required temperature. You can raise it a bit with some vigourous exercise or lower it by relaxing.
What is the only ectothermic mammal?
There are mammals that are truly ectothermic. However the naked mole-rat does not regulate its body temperature in typical mammalian fashion and unlike other mammals its body temperature tracks ambient temperatures.
Can Tamiflu lower your body temperature?

What effect on temperature does the location windward of a large body of water have?
lower temperature
How does the time of day affect your body temperature?
I think that it does because if it is cold , your body temperature goes lower and if its hot or warm your body temperature will rise
Does a sleeping human's body temperature lower?
Yes ... ... ...
Healthy sperm production should have a scrotal temperature that is?
Lower than body temperature
Why is the temperature of the testes lower than core body temperature?
If the testes are not maintained at a temperature about 2 °C lower than body temperature the process of spermatogenesis will not take place, so that is why it is important for the testes to descend into the scrotum during maturation.
