decrease in hunger and a decrease in its metabolic rate
What are two hormones that affect metabolic rate?
The two thyroid hormones thet affects the metabolic rate are Thyroxine & Triiodothyronine.
Function of thyroxin?
Thyroxin acts on many types of cell (muscle, heart, liver, kindney) to increase oxygen consumption, metabolic rate, and raise body temperature.
What gland regulates the body's normal metabolic rate?
the hypothalamus located on the brainstem controls metabolic rate by directly secreting hormones and indirectly managing other hormone production by glands of the endocrine system such as thyroid gland.
Which is a function on of the thyroid gland?
Control the general metabolic rate.
What organ of the endocrine system controls cell metabolic rate?
thyroid
How is a birds respiratory system adapted to its high metabolic rate?
The respiratory system of birds is extremely efficient at taking in oxygen and eliminating carbon dioxide. This fact should not surprise you, as the high metabolic rate of birds demands an efficient gas exchange system.
Which cell has the higher metabolic rate?
the liver has a higher metabolic rate
When a person's weight falls below a certain set point the organism is likely to experience what?
decrease in hunger and a decrease in its metabolic rate
The rate at which the chemical reactions in the body cells take place is known as the __________ rate.?
The rate of Metabolism, or metabolic rate.
What increases the basal metabolic rate in an individual?
Elevating your heart rate increases your basal metabolic rate in an individual.
Does fever decrease the metabolic rate of the body to conserve energy?
It decrease the metabolic rate. This is because Metabolic actually produce heat, if you are in fever state, the body will slow down rate of metabolic as less heat will be produced.
What is core metabolic rate?
Core Metabolic Rate is the specified metabolic rate particular to and occurring within that one individual. Core Metabolic Rate represents the rate of core metabolism, the broad spectrum of physiologic activities occurring within that one individual. In personalized health, core metabolic rate represents a key metric in delineating the inner health and physiologic dynamics of an individual.
What does the Basal Metabolic Rate represent?
The Basal Metabolic Rate, or BMR, is your metabolic rate, or how many calories that you burn, when you are completely at rest. It is responsible for most of the calories that you burn each day.
What is the major factor that determines metabolic rate?
The major factor that determines the metabolic rate is the amount of lean body tissue. A feature of the basal metabolic rate is pregnancy increases the BMR.
What are two hormones that affect metabolic rate?
The two thyroid hormones thet affects the metabolic rate are Thyroxine & Triiodothyronine.
Which hormone is called the metabolic hormone?
thyroxine.It controls mainly basal metabolic rate. Other hormones also involve in metabolic rate control
