What mechanism of heat loss are contributing to Joel's feelings of coldness?
convection
Does fat associated with skin prevent water loss?
No, fat associated with skin prevents heat loss. Keratin and sebum associated with skin prevent water loss.
How do capillaries help control the amount of heat lost from the body?
They dilate at the surface of the skin to release heat into the atmosphere, and they can also constrict to reduce heat loss through the skin.
What is a of the heat loss from skin due to increased wind speed?
Wind chill
What is a measure of the heat loss from skin due to increased wind speed?
Wind chill
Is evaporation heat gain or heat loss?
For what?It requires a heat gain for the water,but a heat loss for whatever the water is in contact with.
What is the primary site of heat loss from the body?
The primary site of heat loss from the body is the skin. Its not necessarily the head or feet. It is just the skin. "The skin is the primary site of heat loss. the circulating blood brings heat to the skin's surface, where small connections between the arterioles and the venules lie directly below the skin surface. Other heat losses occur through evaporation of sweat, through warming and humidifying of inspired air and through the elimination of urine and feces." (Fundamentals of Nursing 7th edition, Taylor, Chapter 24, page 517, 2011)
What is current mechanism?
Penguins have a counter current heat exchange mechanism. The warm blood entering their flippers flows past cold blood leaving. This warms the cold blood and cools the warm blood thus reducing heat loss from the flippers.

How heat loss occurs in the body?
Heat is produced in several of the body's major organs, such as the Liver, Stomach and Heart. This heat is transferred throughout the body via the blood stream. Heat is lost via exhaling, and is commonly lost from our bodies through our skin, especially on hot days when the capillaries beneath the surface of our skin dilate to release more heat in order to cool down the body. We also lose heat when we sweat, via the same mechanism I just described with the capillaries, as well as when we urinate. I hope this has been helpful.
Can frogs create heat?
No, it drys out there skin and then they die from the heat and loss of moisture in there body.
What is heat regulation in skin?
The SUBCUTENOUS FAT LAYER which is made ou of fatty tissue that prevents the quick loss of heat and promote quick absorption of heat
