BME 200: Review 1 Exam Questions &
Answers (Grade A+)
After enduring a cold winter, you visit Yuma, Arizona, where the
temperature is an unbelievable 105 °F! If you stay in that area for
two weeks, but sleep in an air- conditioned room (72 °F) each night,
what type of adaptation will your body undergo to get used to the
heat? -
correct answer ✅The body would undergo adaptations to lose
heat and retain water.
To lose heat, by 2 weeks... -
correct answer ✅1. Sweating starts earlier with any exercise, but
slows down, decreasing the rate of losing water.
2. Skin blood flow increases even more, to release core heat.
3. But only in select areas because there are other adaptations to
retain water
To retain water, by 2 weeks... -
correct answer ✅Kidneys excrete concentrated urine:
Early adaptation (hours) retain salt and water
Late adaptations (weeks) retain water, excrete salts as normal

Blood flow goes to the essential organs:
Late adaptation (days to weeks) skin blood flow is decreased, which
paradoxically, retains heat
Sweating decreases (can occur earlier after adaptation (2 weeks),
there is just less of it)
Dry heat can be passed from the heat source to you. How is the
heat (energy) transferred for each of these types of dry heat
transfer?
(DRY HEAT TRANSFER TERMS) -
correct answer ✅Conduction, Convection, and Radiation.
Conduction -
correct answer ✅The direct transfer of heat from one substance to
another substance that it is touching.
Example: You are sitting on the hot sand. Heat is being transferred
from the sand to my body by
