Thermoregulation And Thermal Stress

Question 1

What is normal body core temp

Answer 1

36.5-37.5

Question 2

What can we safely get our body temp up to in the heat and down to in the cold

Answer 2

40 and 35

Question 3

Define core temp

Answer 3

Temp of the hypothalamus the thermoregulatkry centre of the body

Question 4

How can we assess core temp

Answer 4

Rectal temp
Oesophageal temp
Stomach temp
Oral temp
Tympanic temp

Question 5

What sensors are required for the home static maintance of body temp

Answer 5

Peripheral and thermoreceptors

Question 6

How is body temp maintained

Answer 6

Balancing heat gain and heat loss

Question 7

Heat exchange and energy balance

Answer 7

S= m+c+c+r-e

S= heat storage
M=metabolic heat production
C= connective heat loss or gain
C=conductive heat loss or gain
R=radiant heat loss or gain
E= evaporative heat loss

Question 8

Exercise in the heat:

Answer 8

Competing regulatory demands and changes in muscle function and metabolism underlie endurance aerobic performance impairments

Exercise in heat can result in exertional illness
