Q

Thermoregulation heat production
NTE
Brown fat location

Q

Mechanisms of heat loss

Prevention

A

Conduction: transfer of heat from direct contact with objects
Convection: flow of heat from body to cooler surrounding air
Evaporation: liquid converts to vapor: skin & respiration or sweating
Radiation: loss of heat to cooler solid surfaces within proximity

  • keep away from outside walls, cold windows & A/C, keep out of direct cool drafts, keep wrapped in blanket
