What is the effector for shivering?
Errector Pili Muscles
Why is energy required for shivering?
Because shivering is just all your muscles working (in order to get warm)
How do muscles generate heat?
When your muscles use energy to power muscle contraction 3 quarters turns into heat.
Dose shivering in cold weather make you colder?
No. Shivering is the body's defense against cold. The rapid contraction and relaxation of the muscles produces heat in the body. If you are shivering while cold and then stop even though you are still cold, that is extremely bad, and means that your body is going through hypothermia.
Do all animals have muscles?
All animals that are multicellular organisms have muscles.
Why do all animals shiver?
To get warm. By shivering their muscles, heat is generated
What is the effector for shivering?
Errector Pili Muscles
Why is energy required for shivering?
Because shivering is just all your muscles working (in order to get warm)
How does the arrector pili muscle cause shivering?
The arrector pilli does not cause shivering - it's responsible for "goosebumps".. shivering is caused by skeletal-muscles..
What does shivering cause you to do?
Shivering causes you too involuntary contract and relax your muscles to increase heat production.
What is the function of shivering?
Shivering is an involuntary muscular response from the body, triggered by cold. The "shivering" muscles are trying to internally generate heat, to help keep you warm.
What muscle do you use when your shivering?
The smooth muscles are moving during shivering.
What effect does shivering have?
When you shiver, all your muscles twitch and warms you up temporarily.
How do muscles generate heat?
When your muscles use energy to power muscle contraction 3 quarters turns into heat.
Does asparagus turn farts green?
no but it does make you fart uncontrollably when you laugh as it relaxes the sphincter muscles
How does shivering help your body control its internal temperature?
Shivering is the involuntary contraction and relaxation of your muscles. When muscles contract they use energy, which is released by 'burning' sugar. Some of the energy which is released escapes as heat and this raises the temperature of the body.
Why do people get frisson?
its the bodys way of warming up, by contracting the epidermis and muscles when shivering.
