Temperature Regulation
Homeotherm: organism that maintains a constant core temp despite change in
ambient temperature. Advantage you can go anywhere: the con is that 60% of
the energy of carbs and protein is wasted as heat energy. Pro: you can go
anywhere.
Poikilothem – core temp dependant on ambient temperature: you are a slave of
the environment.
Temperatures: (extremities toes and fingers high 80’s), (blood supply trunk, skin,
and head low 90’s): Rectal temperature
98.6
(37C). Muscle temperature can
exceed 101-103, it depends if you are exercising does not reflect core
temperature. Liver temperature is always 100 degrees since its always metabolic
active and close to a blood supply.
Internal “Range”:
hyperthermia High Limit 107-108 above brain damage.
Hyperthermia is common = people do exercise at high temps.
Lower hypothermia 80 degrees
. Would be unconscious, heart goes into
fibrillation. The normal is 98.6F. Hypothermia is not common and its always a
survival situation.
