INCREASING BODY temperature

Question 1

Conduction:

Answer 1

Conduction: To increase body temperature through conduction, you can come into direct contact with warm objects or surfaces. For example, sitting next to a warm fireplace or using a heating pad can transfer heat to your body through conduction.

Question 2

Convention

Answer 2

To increase body temperature through convection, you can expose yourself to warm air currents or sit in a warm draft. For example, sitting near a heater or using a warm air blower can help increase body temperature through convection.

Question 3

Radiation

Answer 3

To increase body temperature through radiation, you can expose yourself to a heat source, such as sitting in direct sunlight or near a warm fire. The heat radiated by these sources can be absorbed by your body, raising your temperature.

Question 4

How do we promote heat

Answer 4

To promote heat, we can engage in activities that generate heat, such as exercising or moving around. Physical activity increases metabolism, which in turn produces heat in our bodies.

Question 5

Scenario: Pt is losing body heat by Sweating = evaporation:

Answer 5

Losing heat through sweat is through a process called evaporation
Sweat glands produce sweat which is mostly composed of water
Sweat evaporates from skin = heat loss; regulates temperature by dissipating excess heat
