Summary Introduction

To review:

The difference between convection and conduction, in causing heat loss.

Introduction:

All body tissues generate heat, however, those most active metabolically generate a higher amount. When the body is at rest, heat is produced by the heart, the brain, the liver, and the endocrine organs. Radiation, conduction/convection, and evaporation are some methods of heat loss.
