reducing heat loss in biology???
Answers
Convective heat loss is the transfer of heat from a body to moving molecules such as air or liquid. The thin air layer adjacent to the skin is heated by conduction from the body but carries the heat away from the body in the ambient air currents. This leads to a convective heat loss. Changes in body posture and minute ventilation may affect convective heat loss, and the amount of heat loss by convection depends on the skin surface area, the air flow velocity, and the temperature difference between the air and the skin surface. Outdoors, convective heat loss may be experienced as the “wind chill factor.”
Answer:
Heat dissipation is characterized by the ability to undergo vasodilation which increases blood flow to the periphery, resulting in evaporative hear loss. Endothermic animals are defined by their ability to utilize both vasoconstriction and vasodilation to maintain internal temperature.
