The skin assists heat discharges by allowing evaporation but that is controlled…
The Hypothalamus: an organ gland that excretes fluids to aid the body regulatory systems, in this case controls body temperature; it also controls hunger, thirst, fatigue, sleep ~ circadian rhythm (internal clock) also works in concert with pituitary gland, also having an influence on ones sex drive. The Hypothalamus is located in the Brain just below the Thalamus just above the brain stem it is about the size of an almond.
What else can I help you with?
What is the major organ of the circulatory system that causes blood to flow through the body by its pumping action?
The Heat is the pump that circulates blood through the body.
What structures are most likely to be found at relatively high concentrations within the cells of a swordfish's heat generating organ?
Mitochondria are likely to be found at high concentrations in the cells of a swordfish's heat generating organ. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell and are responsible for generating heat through cellular respiration. Additionally, the heat generating organ may contain dense networks of blood vessels to facilitate the transfer of heat throughout the body.
What can happen if the body cannot get rid of excess heat?
If the body cannot get rid of excess heat, it can lead to heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. These conditions can be serious and even life-threatening if not treated promptly. The body's internal temperature regulation may fail, causing organ damage and potentially leading to death in severe cases.
What organ system is endothermic and exothermic?
The cardiovascular system is considered endothermic because it helps regulate body temperature by distributing heat produced by metabolism. The integumentary system, which includes the skin, is considered exothermic because it helps release heat from the body to the external environment.
What is the most dangerous form of heat-related injury that results in a shutdown of body systems?
The most dangerous form of heat-related injury that results in a shutdown of body systems is heat stroke. It occurs when the body's internal temperature reaches a critical level, causing the body's cooling system to fail. This can lead to organ damage and even death if not treated promptly.
Which organ of the body generates the most heat?
The liver is often considered the organ that generates the most heat in the body due to its role in metabolism and energy production. Additionally, muscle tissue can also generate significant heat during activity.
What organ maintain heat in the body?
skin
What organ of excretion is the largest in the body and gets rid of heat and urea?
The organ that excretes Urea compounds are the kidneys, BUT they do not excrete HEAT. No organ of the human body EXCRETES heat.
What organ system generates body heat and provides for locomotion of the body as a whole?
the nervous system
Which organ allows the body to heat to leave the body?
Largely the skin but also the lungs and the kidneys.
What excretory organ removes body heat?
The primary excretory organ that helps regulate body heat is the skin. Through processes like sweating, the skin releases heat from the body to cool it down. Sweat glands in the skin produce sweat, which evaporates from the skin's surface, taking heat with it and helping to maintain the body's temperature.
Thermoregulation organ?
An organ in some animals that allows for the regulation of body temperature, such as a countercurrent heat exchanger in some fish.
What organ allows the to cool the body off by releasing excess water and heat from the body?
Sweat glands
Which system helps maintain a healthy internal environment and contains the largest organ of the body?
That would be your skin. Your skin is in fact the largest organ of the body, and covers everything internally, and regulates heat.
Animals with Detection of body heat?
I'm sure there are many, I can only think of a pit-viper. They have an organ that can sense heat. It is located between the eyes and nostrils. This organ is extremely sensitive to even the smallest temperature changes with 7,000 nerve endings.
What body organ helps to keep you at a steady temperature?
The skin is the organ of the body that helps people keep a steady temperature. When it is cold the fur on the body will help keep the body warm.
In what area or organ of the human body is heat created?
Heat is created in every cell in the human body. It is a by-product of our metabolism. We only obtain about 40% of the energy contained in the food we eat. The other 60% is lost as heat.
