Bottom Navigation Bar Frame in AnPhystemplate Glossary terms will appear here. Anabolism - metabolic pathway which requires energy and is associated with repair, regeneration and growth to assemble simple substances into more complex molecules required by the organism.
Autonomic control is observed in some vertebrates to reduce the loss of heat at body surfaces.
Behavioral Regulation - type of regulation animals engage in when their behavior indicates a preference for a specific environment that favors optimal body temperature. Countercurrent Heat Exchange - a specialized parallel arrangement of incoming arteries and outgoing veins forming a heat exchanger that conserves heat in the body core. Critical thermal maximum - the temperature above which survival is not possible. Hess' Law - the total energy released in the breakdown of a fuel to a given set of end products is always the same. Isotopic Technique - measuring water fluxes in animals to determine metabolic rate.
