Primary effects of temperature an animal's tissue (2) - ANS - how the issue performs
- the rate of energy expenditure
Endotherms - ANS Animals that warm their tissues using heat produced by metabolism.
Ectotherms - ANS Animals that use the external environment to regulate their temperature
Thermoregulator - ANS maintain relatively constant internal body temps (Can be endotherm
or ectotherm)
Homeotherms - ANS Animals that regulate by physiological means
Heterothermy - ANS When the body temperature of an individual animal differs from time to
time or from one part of the body to another

, Temperature - ANS a measure of the average kinetic energy of atoms in the object
Heat - ANS A form of energy. Total kinetic energy summed across all atoms of an object.
Thermal mass - ANS the ability of a material to absorb and store heat energy
Thermal inertia - ANS The ability of a material to maintain its temperature
Conduction - ANS The direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance that
it is touching., (macroscopically motionless)
Convection - ANS The direct transfer of heat through direct contact with a material
substance that is in macroscopic motion.
Evaporation - ANS transfer of heat via evaporation of water from the animal. This occurs
because water absorbs heat when in changes state from liquid to gas.
Thermal Radiation - ANS transfer of heat at a distance via electromagnetic radiation emitted
and absorbed by pieces of matter.
Larger animals have ______ thermal mass and ________ thermal inertia - ANS greater,
greater
behavioral thermoregulation - ANS when an ectotherm maintains relatively constant body
temperatures by choosing where they position themselves in space, and then they are active in
time.
VT(max)= - ANS Voluntary thermal maximum, body temp at which lizards in an incubator
attempted to flee
