Question
Chapter 39.3, Problem 3C
Summary Introduction
To determine: The regulation of body temperature in humans.
Introduction: In order to survive and function properly animals need to maintain an internal temperature within relatively narrow limits. The state of balanced internal environment is known as homeostasis. The body temperature is maintained within these narrow limits despite the changes in surrounding temperature through a process called thermoregulation.

What labels would you use to describe an animal that cannot use its metabolism to generate heat but homeostatically regulates its body temperature around a specific set point using other means? Explain your reasoning.
Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you increased the temperature. Predict what would happen to the metabolic rate of the mouse if you decreased the temperature (You can make this prediction with text or with lines on your graph). Support your prediction with evidence about endotherms and ectotherms. (Hint: Think about what happens to your body when you get hot or cold.)
In the negative feedback system for regulation of body temperature. Identify the following. 1. Stimulus 2. Receptor 3. Control Center 4. Effector 5. Response

Answer using a few sentences.arrow_forwardfor aquatic animals such as sharks, how do the animals maintain their body temperature when they are in warmer or colder waters? do they have a method where they can decrease or increase their body temperatures slightly such as torpor in birds?arrow_forwardA high metabolic rate warms the animal from within, and insulation (such as fur and body fat) slows heat loss. Birds for example are warm-blooded animals that have high metabolism. During the winter, how do birds keep their body warm? The answers are found in their parts, their feathers, legs and feet, and their behavior like fluffing, shivering and roosting.
