According to the discussions in our previous class, we got to understand thermoregulation and how the process takes place. An environment is said to be thermos neutral when the body does not expend or release energy to maintain its core temperature. Test how well you understood the topic as you prepare for the upcoming midterms by taking this quiz. All the best!
More dilute
More oily
Delayed onset
More volatile
More salty
Rate this question:
Increased basal metabolic rate
Reduced sweat formation
Non-shivering thermogenesis
Reduced skin blood flow
Increased thermal setpoint
Rate this question:
In a temperate climate under normal conditions, the greatest loss of body heat occurs through radiation
During water immersion, heat is mainly lost via radiation
The thalamus is the centre for integrating thermal information
As the skin possesses thermoreceptors, its temperature is regulated more closely than the core temperature
Rate this question:
Heat loss through sweating is controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system
The efficacy of sweating as a mechanism of heat loss is increased in tropical rain forest
Profuse sweating can lead to heat exhaustion
Common sweat is secreted by the apocrine glands
Rate this question:
Decreased production of interleukin-1 (IL-1)
Decreased set-point temperature in the hypothalamus
Shivering
Vasodilation of blood vessels in the skin
