Homeostatic maintenance of body temperature.
The ability to maintain a constant temperature independent of dynamic (changing) environmental conditions.
regulation of body temperature in mammals.
The maintenance of internal temperature within a tolerable range. thick filament A filament composed of staggered arrays of myosin molecules; a component of myofibrils in muscle fibers. thigmomorphogenesis A response in plants to chronic mechanical stimulation, resulting from increased ethylene production; an example is thickening stems in response to strong winds. thigmotropism( thig-moh- troh-piz-um) The directional growth of a plant in relation to touch.
Maintenance or regulation of temperature, specifically the maintenance of a particular temperature of the living body.
the capacity to maintain a constant internal body temperature, independent of variations of the outside temperature. The term also applies to the complex metabolic and mechanical functions required for maintaining body temperature.
The maintenance or regulation of temperature.
in cold-blooded animals, activity associated with external control of body temperature, such as sunning.
the maintenance of a particular body temperature regardless of changes in the environment
The process of maintaining a constant internal body temperature despite changes in the outside environmental temperature.
Behavior that maintains the body temperature within acceptable ranges. (see ectothermic)
The regulating of body temperature.
The ability to control body temperature. Specifically in sharks the ability to maintain a core temperature higher than the surrounding water.
keeping the temperature of a living body at a constant level Cormorants hold their wings out for thermoregulation and to dry their feathers.
The regulation of body temperature.
The control/maintenance of a normal body temperature (36.5-37.5 ° C). Metabolism, at rest or during exercise, is the main contributor to heat production. Evaporation of sweat is the most effective way to dissipate excess heat produced during exercise.
the process of regulating body temperature.
Thermoregulation is the procedure of regulating body temperature.
the process of keeping a constant body temperature Humans as organisms
Coordinated bodily responses that ensure that deep body temperature is regulated around a set point. Responses to warming and cooling are probably coordinated in different areas of the hypothalamus.
Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when temperature surrounding is very different. This process is one aspect of homeostasis: a dynamic state of stability between an animal's internal environment and its external environment (the study of such processes in zoology has been called ecophysiology or physiological ecology). If the body is unable to maintain a normal temperature and it increases significantly above normal, a condition known as hyperthermia occurs.
