controlled hypothermiaalthough birds and mammals frequently function in the homeothermic mode and maintain relatively high stable temperatures many
heat loss temperature regulation is extremely uneconomical if it depends only on variations in metabolism therefore mechanisms for losing excess heat
exercise- heat production during physical activity heat production by exercise can to some extent substitute for heat generated by shivering however
shivering - heat production the mechanism of thermogenesis with which we are more familiar is shivering and all adult birds and mammals seem to use
heat production in the homeotherms heat production must be elevated if the ambient temperature falls below the critical temperature although all
temperature regulation in homeotherms homeothermy is regulation of body temperature by physiological means the stabilisation of body temperature
behavioural adjustments when faced with a sudden temperature change most animals make behavioural responses that enable them to avoid extreme or
