Explain Temperature Regulation (negative feedback loop)

Subject: Environmental Physiology True or false: The process of an organism losing heat to the boundary layer decreases with wind speed.

Calculate the amount of evaporation that must occur to remove 400 kcal of heat from the body.

Explain the role of the blood vessels in the skin in the homeostatic regulation of heat loss in the body.

The maintenance of bodily equilibrium is called thermostasis. True or False?

Define what is Internal Regulation  Illustrate the body’s mechanism in temperature regulation  Compare through illustration homeostasis and allostasis  Don't forget to include the references. Thank you!

Positive feedback loops are the opposite of negative feedback loops. In a positive feedback loop, any change in the original variable triggers mechanisms that actually push the variable further in the direction of the change. Imagine that body temperature was regulated in this way. Briefly explain what would happen.

Explain the physiologic processes involved in the homeostatic regulation of temperature, pulse, respiration, and blood pressure

Explain why a constant high body temperature is worth all the energy it costs.

The human body is composed of water, proteins, fat, and minerals. Its specific heat reflects thiscomposition. With 75% water and 25% protein, what would be the specific heat of the body?Differentiate the three ways of heat transfer.
