Summary Introduction
To review:
The main mechanism of heat transfer between the body and the environment. Also, the way through which this mechanism transfers heat.
Introduction:
Movement of heat, solutes, pressure, and water follows the gradient core principle. Thus, they move along the concentration gradient. Heat moves from an area of higher temperature to lower temperature.
