1
Behaviors that regulate body temperature
2
Cool down Panting Sweating Hide in shade Water Gular fluttering
With wind chill
3
Evaporative mechanisms
Evaporation- Vaporization of water from a surface Lose water from skin, mouth and nose Panting Sweating Gular fluttering Vibrations that cause air to move back and forward Gular sack of birds
4
shade
5
Conduction Heat transferred between 2 objects in direct contact Water
Ice Digging in sand/dirt Laying spread out
6
Wind chill Convection- heat is transferred through movement of air or water Moves air away from body
7
Warm up Thermogenesis- increasing metabolic heat production Shivering
Rubbing hands Hibernation In sunlight Huddling Puff up feathers Goosebumps Curl up Migration
8
Contract muscles Produce metabolic heat Involuntary or voluntary
Shivering Rubbing hands
9
radiation Transfer of heat from a warmer object to a cooler one by infrared radiation Sunlight
10
Conduction Heat transferred between 2 objects by direct contact
Huddling
11
Insulation and resistance
Trap a layer of air next to skin High body mass to surface ratio Goosebumps Puff up feathers
12
Curling up Conserve heat Cover nose, paws and ears
13
hibernation Non-shivering thermogenesis- depends on specialized fat tissue (brown fat) - Mitochondria with specialized protein that let them release energy from fuel molecules directly as heat
14
Migration Change of environment
