It is called homeostasis (internal environment maintained at a constant level) or thermostasis (internal heat maintained at a constant temperature). The overall name for the processes by which temperature is controlled is thermoregulation.

What is the process of maintaining a relatively constant internal environment despite changes in the external environment despite changes in the external environment is called?

Homeostasis, which is the maintenance of the conditions in the cell or within the body that maintain life, despite changes that may be occurring on the outside of the body. Such as temperature. The body will maintain a internal temperature of approx. 98*6 even if it is 108 degrees or -20 below outside the body.


What does electrical appliances use to keep temperature constant?

Electrical appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners use a thermostat to monitor the temperature and adjust the operation of the appliance to maintain a constant temperature. When the temperature rises or falls outside the set range, the thermostat signals the appliance to turn on or off to keep the temperature stable.


Is Homeostasis the maintenance of constant internal conditions in spite of changes in the environment?

Yes, that is correct. Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to regulate its internal environment in order to maintain a stable, constant condition despite external changes. This process helps organisms to maintain optimal functioning and survival.


How does the body detect heat?

Our bodies have nerve cells called thermoreceptors that measure temperature of our internal body and the external environment. When these nerve cells are stimulated by changes inside our bodies and in the world outside, they send their information to the brain, where it is mostly the job of the medulla oblongata to make changes to keep our internal body temperature constant.


Why the temperature in a flask tha contains dry peas doesn't change at the room temperature?

The temperature in the flask remains constant because the peas act as insulation, limiting heat transfer between the inside and outside of the flask. This insulation effect prevents the temperature from changing easily.

How does a refrigerator is able to maintain a constant cool temperature?

A refrigerator maintains a constant cool temperature by using a compressor to circulate refrigerant through a closed system of coils. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the interior of the fridge and releases it outside. A thermostat controls the compressor to ensure that the temperature inside remains stable.


If humans temperature is 98.6 why is so hot for humans outside at 100 degrees?

The human body generates heat as part of its normal functioning, and needs to maintain a constant internal temperature of around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. When it's 100 degrees outside, the body has to work extra hard to dissipate the extra heat and keep its internal temperature stable, which can make it feel hot for humans.


What happens when a warmblooded animal is cold?

Endothermy (the state of being warm blooded) is not absolute. A warm blooded animal is an animal that has some ability to keep its internal body temperature constant, but extreme outside temperatures can overpower this ability. If a warm blooded animal is in cold enough surroundings, it will fail to keep its internal temperature constant. It will develop hypothermia, and may freeze to death. If its surroundings are not quite as cold, it will probably be able to keep its internal temperature constant, as long as it eventually enters warmer surroundings (or its present surroundings warm up).


What is the minimal internal temperature of cooked pizza?

Until the cheese is nice and dark and brown on the outside and the crust is fully brown and crusty. There is no internal temperature required for pizza.


What is the internal temperature for rare beef roasts?

The correct internal temperature for a beef rib roast is 135 degrees for medium rare. You should take it out of the oven when it reaches this temperature. Once it stands for abit, outside the oven, the internal temperature will reach 145 degrees.


If the outdoor temperature increases by 10c what will happen to a reptiles body temperature?

Reptiles are cold blooded and require the atmospheric heat to regulate their internal body temperature. If the outside temperature were to decrease by 20 c the internal temperature of the reptile would decrease 20C.

What is an advantage of conservation?

Conserve does not mean to keep it constant. It means estimating for it at all times and making sure to use it correctly. There are several advantages of conservation; a few of them are as follows: It maintains the outside temperature. It preserves biodiversity and ecosystem. It builds a healthy planet and a healthy life.


Which mammal has a constant body temperature?

All mammals are classified as endotherms, which means they have some ability to keep a constant body temperature. However, endothermy is not complete, so a disease or extreme outside temperatures could overpower the mammal's ability to keep its body temperature constant.


What does internal temperature mean?

Internal temperature is the temperature at or near the center of an object. The internal temperature is very important in cooking things like roasts, chickens, turkeys, etc. There are situations where outside temperature may be quite warm, but internal temperature may be quite cool. Things are to be cooked until the internal temperature is hot, often for some period of time.


How does a white tailed deer control its body temperature?

White-tailed deer have an internal control system which maintains body temperature regardless of the external temperature. If it is too hot outside they tend to pant like dogs and extrude sweat only through their noses, and will also find shade to keep cool. During colder times, they will eat constantly to maintain body temperature and their energy, if they can find sufficient food.


Where do baby sleep?

If the brood hen is with them, they sleep under the hen. They stay safe and warm under her wings and body. Chicks raised in an artificial incubator are raised in a brooder box which maintains a constant temperature and humidity until the chicks are old enough to withstand the ambient outside/inside temperatures.
