Convection
A
Movement of heat within a fluid or gas, movement of heat within bloodstream
5
Q
Conduction
A

6
Q

7
Q

- Measurements of electrolytes in sweat vary
- Sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium
- Weighing the horse before and after work estimate fluid sweat loss
- 10 gr electrolytes per liter sweat
- Problems with dehydration start 6-7% BM loss
