|
4 levels of organization |
cells tissues organs organ system
|
|
interstitial fluid |
between cells, allows for movement of material into/out of cells |
|
circulatory fluid |
delivers gases and and nutrients to cells and takes waste away |
|
homeostasis |
maintaining steady state or internal balance regardless of external environment |
|
acclimatization |
animals adjust their normal range to external environmental changes. this occurs in an individuals lifetime and is a reversible, physiological change |
|
thermoregulation |
animals maintain an internal temperature within a tolerable range |
|
endothermy |
body heat is generated by metabolism, requires animal to eat more, can be more active in a wider range of temps |
|
ectothermy |
body heat comes from outside sources, can tolerate a wide range of body temperatures |
|
poikilotherms |
body temp varies with environment |
|
homeotherms |
maintain a relatively constant body temp |
|
circ adaptation that reduced heat loss |
