hormones
- affect 1+ regions throughout body - relatively slow acting with long lasting effects
52
what does relayed information depend on
signal's pathway, not type of signal
53
regulators

both
56
homeostasis
steady state or internal balance regardless of external environment
57
homeostasis in humans
- body temperatures - blood pH - glucose levels
58
for a given variable, fluctuations above/below a set point serves as what?
stimulus
59
what is a stimulus detected by
a sensor
60
what does a control center do
generates output that triggers a response, which returns variable to set point
61
negative feedback
helps return variable to normal range - most homeostasis in animals
62
positive feedback
amplifies stimulus - doesn't usually contribute to homeostasis
63
how do set points and normal ranges change
- age - cyclic variation
64
circadian rhythm
govern physiological changes that occur every 24 hours
65
acclimatization
a temporary change during an animal's lifetime
66
thermoregulation
process by which animals maintain internal temperature within a normal range
67
endothermic animals
generate heat by metabolism - birds, mammals, endotherms
68
ectothermic animals
gain heat from external sources - invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, reptiles
69
is endothermy or ectothermy more energetically expensive
endothermy
70
do ectotherms or endotherms tolerate greater variation in internal temperature
ectotherms
71

varies with environment
72
poikio
variable
73
body temperature of homeotherm
relatively constant
74
relationship between heat source and body temperature
not fixed (not all poikilotherms are ectotherms)
75
4 physical processes by which organisms exchange heat
1. radiation 2. evaporation 3. convection 4. conduction
76
what system is often involved in heat regulation in mammals?
integumentary system - skin, hair, and nails
77
5 adaptations help animals thermoregulate
1. insulation 2. circulatory adaptations 3. cooling by evaporative heat loss 4. behavioral responses 5. adjusting metabolic heat production
78
insulation
- mammals (whale, walrus) and birds - skin, feathers, fur, blubber reduced heat flow between animal and its environment
79
circulatory adaptations
- regulation of blood flow near body surface - end/exotherms can alter amount of blood flowing between body core and skin - vasodilation - vasoconstriction
80
vasodilation
blood flow in skin increases, facilitating heat loss
81
vasoconstriction
blood flow in skin decreases, lowering heat loss
82
countercurrent exchange
exchangers transfer heat between fluids flowing in opposite directions and thereby reduce heat loss - from arrangement of blood vessels in marine mammals and birds
83
what organisms use countercurrent heat exchanges?
some sharks, fish, insect, marine mammals, birds
84
endothermic insects and countercurrent heat exchangers
help maintain high temperature in thorax
85
evaporative heat loss
- evaporation of water through skin - sweating/bathing moistens skin - panting - birds and mammals
86
behavioral responses
- ecto, sometimes endoderms - seek warm places when cold - seek cooler areas when hot
87
adjusting metabolic heat production
- thermogenesis
88
thermogenesis
adjustment of metabolic heat production to maintain body temperature - increased by moving and shivering
89
non shivering thermogenesis
takes place when hormones cause mitochondria to increase metabolic activity
90
brown fat
tissue in mammals specialized for rapid heat production
91
where is brown fat found
infants of many mammals and adult mammals that hibernate
92
what does amount of brown fat in human adults depend on
varies depending on temperature of surrounding environment
93
what other animals can raise body temperature through shivering
birds and some nonavian reptiles
94
how can birds and mammals vary their insulation
to acclimatize to seasonal temperature changes
95
what happens to lipid composition of cells with temperature change?
may change
96
antifreeze compounds
when temperatures are subzero, some ectotherms produce these compounds to prevent ice formation in cells
97
what is thermoregulation controlled by
hypothalamus
98
what does the hypothalamus trigger
heat loss or heat-generating mechanisms
99
fever
response to some infections - reflects an increase in normal range for biological thermostat

what are food molecules used for after staying alive needs are met?
biosynthesis
107
biosynthesis
- body growth and repair - synthesis of storage material (fat) - production of gametes
108
what does food become
ATP to glycogen to fat
109
metabolic rate
sum of all energy an animal uses in a unit of time
110
what can a metabolic rate be determined by
- animal's heat loss - amount of O2 consumed or CO2 produced - measuring energy content of food consumed and energy lost in waste products
111
anabolism + catabolism =
metabolism
112
basal metabolic rate (BMR)
metabolic rate of endotherm at rest at comfortable temperature
113
standard metabolic rate (SMR)
metabolic rate of ectotherm at rest at specific temperature
114
what do both types of metabolic rates assume
non growing, fasting, non stressed animal
115
do ectotherms or endotherms have lower metabolic rate
ectotherms
116
factors influencing metabolic rates
age, sex, size, activity, temperature, nutrition
117
what is metabolic rate proportional to
body mass to the power of three-quarters
118
do smaller or larger animals have a higher metabolic rate per gram
smaller animals
119
what does a higher metabolic rate of smaller animals lead to
higher oxygen delivery rate, breathing rate, heart rate, greater blood volume - compared to larger animals
120
torpor
physiological state of decreased activity and metabolism - enables animals to save energy while avoiding difficult/dangerous conditions
121
hibernation
long-term torpor that is an adaptation to winter cold and food scarcity
