The hairs on your body also play an important role in temperature regulation. A corrective response can occur where the hairs ‘stand on end’, and trap a layer of air between the hair and the skin. This insulation of warmer air next to the skin reduces heat loss, while a thin layer ...
Taking the temperature under the tongue is a close approximation of core body temperature. It can vary based on if food or drink was recently consumed, but it is less invasive than more accurate methods. Why is core body temp important? The internal organs such as the heart, liver, and br...
She has taught college level Physical Science and Biology. Cite this lesson Animals regulate their temperature using a variety of methods, unique to their own biological needs for survival. Learn the types of temperature regulations and sources of heat that animals typically use for each type. ...
The hypothalamus monitors the amount of water in the body by sensing the concentration of electrolytes in the blood; a high concentration of electrolytes means that the level of water in the body is low. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pitui...

However, whether anemones in common garden conditions reduce individual body size through catabolism or fission depends on the region of origin and may relate to differences in seasonal temperature patterns among coastlines, which influence the energetic benefits of fission rate plasticity. This is a ...
Comini, in Redox Chemistry and Biology of Thiols, 2022 3.1 Metabolic regulation and redox control From a metabolic point of view, “metabolic regulation” refers to mechanisms implemented by cells/organisms to warrant homeostasis independently of the environmental conditions, whereas “metabolic control...
Temperature regulation in burying beetles (Nicrophorus spp.: Coleoptera: Silphidae): effects of body size, morphology and environmental temperature. This study compares the thermoregulatory ability of three species of burying beetle (Coleoptera: Silphidae: Nicrophorus hybridus, Nicrophorus guttula and N.....
The above mentioned internal information, termed interoception, can be described as the perception and regulation of the body’s internal physiological and metabolic states, such as energy homeostasis, blood pressure, gut motility and bone density through communication and integration between the CNS and...
