#1
Front (Question)

radiation

Back (Answer)

• There is no direct contact with the source gain or loss

#2
Front (Question)

convection

Back (Answer)

• Occurs when hot or cold air passes over a body gain or loss

#3
Front (Question)

conduction

Back (Answer)

• Occurs from direct contact with heat source gain or loss

#4
Front (Question)

evaporation

Back (Answer)

• Transformation of water from liquid to gaseous state loss only

#5
Front (Question)

how hot is too hot for the body?

Back (Answer)

42 is dangerous and 45 is deadly

#6
Front (Question)

what causes a heat stroke?

Back (Answer)

body temperature rises, regulatory mechanisms cease, fatal if brain cells are affected

#7
Front (Question)

what causes heat exhaustion?

Back (Answer)

Loss of water ( sweating) reduces volume of blood plasma and vasodilation Vasodilation reduces blood flow resistance decreasing blood pressure and cardiac output

#8
Front (Question)

why do we need to be at 37 degrees?

Back (Answer)

Chemical reactions are optimum at 37c if not; • Increase of temperature • Nerve malfunction • Change protein structure • Death

#9
Front (Question)

what causes temperature variation?

Back (Answer)

• Activity • External changes • Daily body cycle: low am and higher pm • Women higher in 2nd half on menstrual cycle

#10
Front (Question)

what causes heat production?

Back (Answer)

Carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids contain energy in chemical bonds that hold molecules together

#11
Front (Question)

what is heat used for?

Back (Answer)

muscle contraction, active transport and building molecules - when cellular respiration occurs for energy release

#12
Front (Question)

how does metabolism impact temperature?)

Back (Answer)

Cellular respiration creates heat Heat from stress and excercise; sympathetic nerves release noradrenaline - Increases metabolic activity Too cold metabolic rate slows, heat production cant replace lost heat
