Q

fish can conserve heat thru?

A

counter-current heat exchange

18
Q

another way for ectotherms to regulate their temperature by?

A

changing their behavior

19
Q

ectothers are capable of surviving at a rsnge of temperature but a quick tempersture changes can be?

20
Q

can generste thier own heat through metabolism

21
Q

marine mammal have a?

22
Q

used to make animals look bigger, but it has a tempersture regulation function too

23
Q

another way in which heat is generated

24
Q

release a liquid that gets evaporated from the skin

25
another way for evaporstion trick
Panting
26
can sustained lowered body temperature
Hibernation
27
a way for some animals to survive cold, dark winters witjout having to forage for food or migrate somwhere warmer. Instead they turn down their metabolism
Hibernation
28
Summertime version of hibernation
Estivation/Aestivation
29
first mammal to estivates
Fat-tailed lemur
30
only mammal that known to be poikilotherms
Naled mole rat
31
all domestive livestock are?
homeotherms
32
occours in basal metabolic rate is met
Thermoneutral zone
33
the amount of energy expended while at rest in neutral temperature
Metabolic rate
34
when temperature are above the thermoneutral zone, they fall in?
Upper critical temperature (UCT)
35
extreme cold can cause ?
hypothermia
36
act as a body thermostat
Hypothalamus
37
send message to the hypothalus or detect a rise in blood temeprature
Thermoreceptors
38
leads to the activation of physiological mechanism required to maintain homeostasis.
Stress
39
also can be classified to acute or chronic
Stress
40
Stress are diverse and include release and activation of several tropic hormones
Andrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Thyrotropic hormone (TSH) Somatotropic hormone Follicle stimulating Luteinizing Hormones (LH) Prolactin (PRL)
